Victim identities and ages, the precise time, and further details about any suspect have not been released in the information available.
Citywide homicide figures offer limited context
A Richmond Police Department citywide report recorded 28 homicides from Jan. 1 through June 29, 2024, and 32 over the same dates in 2025. Those figures provide a dated comparison of homicides citywide; they are not shooting totals and do not describe the Sledd Street incident or establish a trend in its area.
