Rufus Calvin Tolbert Jr., 58, of Richmond, Virginia, was killed on April 8, 2007, in what police described as a drive-by shooting near a church. The attack occurred on an ordinary Sunday and involved a burst of gunfire that turned the scene into one of panic and sirens.

Within days police publicly identified Tolbert as the victim and announced an arrest. A Richmond teenager, Philip Bagby, 19, was taken into custody and named by authorities as the person they believed was connected to the deadly drive-by. Tolbert was later buried in Richmond; memorial listings link his passing plainly to gun violence.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember that morning or saw a vehicle leave the scene?
