On the evening of December 21, 2007, 15-year-old KVon Sidney Whitfield Tre Robinson was fatally shot on the 1100 block of North 24th Street in Richmond’s East End. The same attack also killed 19-year-old Christopher Harris; police initially described the double homicide as drug-related.

Within days authorities arrested 22-year-old Codie Holcomb and later 21-year-old Isiah Jamarr Bunk Johnson, who turned himself in. At Johnson’s May 2008 trial, witness testimony from Antoine Dabney and Codie Holcomb described a street-corner gathering that erupted after Johnson allegedly left a nearby house and then opened fire, striking both victims. Johnson testified that he blacked out and claimed Holcomb had warned him someone intended to harm him. A Richmond Circuit Court judge convicted Johnson of two counts of first-degree murder in May 2008; he was sentenced in July 2008 to a total of 74 years.

Does anyone have memories of that East End street corner or information about KVon’s life that could help fill in what happened?
