Eric Christopher Sayles was 23 when he was shot outside the White Oak Village shopping center in Henrico County on the evening of October 20, 2014. Rushed to a nearby hospital, he was pronounced dead. Sayles, born September 13, 1991, in Richmond, was known to friends and family as E and had played high school football at Matoaca and L.C. Bird.

Henrico County police arrested a suspect at the scene, but that person was not charged with murder; the charge filed was being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. That outcome prompted public outcry and a petition from members of the community demanding what they described as justice for Eric. The case left many questions for his family and neighbors.

If anyone knew Eric, was at White Oak Village that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
