On the evening of September 24, 2013, in the Whitcomb Court neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia, Robert Lee Poag, a 29-year-old Black man, was found in the 2100 block of Deforrest Street with fatal gunshot wounds. Police responded at approximately 10:16 p.m. and treated the death as a homicide.

Investigators quickly developed leads and, four days later on September 28, 2013, the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended 24-year-old Dominique J. Hicks. Hicks was charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with Poag’s death. A 2014 homicide report later listed the case as closed with Dominique J. Hicks named alongside the entry, though specific trial or sentencing details are not readily available.

If anyone knew Robert Poag, his movements that night, or has information about the events on Deforrest Street, please come forward.
