Michael Excell Alexander, 28, was shot and killed on the evening of New Year’s Eve 2012 in Richmond, Virginia. He was found at about 5:45 p.m. in the street at the intersection of 29th and Newbourne Streets and was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was the city’s final homicide of 2012.

Known as Flip to friends and family, Alexander was a husband and father who left behind his wife, Tamere Coleman Alexander, and three children, Makala, Tamerion, and Michael Jr. Witnesses reported seeing two Black males wearing black clothing in the area around the time of the shooting, but that lead did not produce any immediate arrests.

If anyone knew Michael, saw activity near 29th and Newbourne on the evening of December 31, 2012, or has information that could help, please come forward.
