On the morning of May 20, 2023, Richmond police were called about a person down in the 4500 block of Hanover Avenue. Officers arriving just before noon found the unresponsive body of a man inside a residential disposal container in an alleyway. He was identified as 36-year-old Walter Robinson III of Richmond and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial examinations reportedly found no obvious signs of trauma, and the Office of the Medical Examiner was assigned to determine the official cause and manner of death. The discovery alarmed neighbors in the Near West End, and the Richmond Police Department opened an active investigation but has not publicly identified suspects or made arrests.

What did anyone in the area see or hear around Hanover Avenue on May 20 that might help investigators?
