Jett Gerald Higham was 18 when he was killed on July 2, 2013, just six days after arriving in Richmond, Virginia. A recent high school graduate who enjoyed photography and art and had worked as an extra in film and television, he was described by family as a dreamer with an infectious innocence. Born March 15, 1995, he lived in the Jackson Ward neighborhood with his family.

That evening Jett walked three blocks to a nearby store for candy, a routine he often kept after dinner. He was found shot in the neck in an alley off East Marshall Street and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the attack was a robbery over his cellphone and the $4 in his pocket.

Richmond police arrested two suspects within 15 minutes and a third the following night. The three arrested were identified as 20-year-old Myles Sanders, 18-year-old Billy Reynolds, and a 16-year-old; all three were charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Does anyone who knew Jett or who was in the Jackson Ward area that night have information to share?
