Amiya Moses was 12 and a sixth-grader at Henderson Middle School when she was killed on December 19, 2015, in Richmond, Virginia. She had been standing outside with friends at an apartment complex on Old Brook Road when a car pulled up and shots were fired; Amiya was struck by a stray bullet and later died at a local hospital. Family described her as a bright child who loved singing and dancing.

The shooting was described as part of an ongoing neighborhood dispute in which Amiya played no part. In the days afterward, the Richmond Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force took two 20-year-old men, Dwight Q. Jackson and Shaquille D. Maxwell, into custody; they were initially charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Subsequent prosecutions resulted in convictions and prison terms for four men in connection with Amiya’s death.

If anyone knew Amiya, was at the Old Brook Road complex that night, or has information about the dispute that led to the shooting, please share what can help bring more clarity.
