In the early morning hours of November 3, 2001, gunfire was reported at the Suburban Apartment complex at 4900 Wagner Avenue in Henrico, Virginia. Responding officers found 37-year-old Michael Edward Lowther deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. The death was investigated as a homicide.

Despite an initial investigation, no suspects, motives, or arrests have been publicly announced and the case eventually went cold. The file is now listed with the Henrico County Police Division’s Cold Case Review Team, which continues to seek information that could break the case.

Very little is known about Lowther’s final hours beyond the time and place of the shooting. If anyone has information about what happened that night or recalls seeing anything at the Suburban Apartment complex around 12:45 a.m. on November 3, 2001, Henrico police want to hear from you.
