Ikia M. Goodman was 25 when she was killed by gunfire in Richmond, Virginia, on September 24, 2007. Family described her as a positive, warm presence whose death left a profound void for parents Belinda Goodman and William Taylor, sisters Nakita Goodman and Dysheen Mitchell, and grandmother Annie Goodman. A funeral was held September 28, 2007, at the Metropolitan African American Baptist Church and she was buried in Maury Cemetery.

The case remains unsolved: no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported.
