In the late summer of 2013 in Richmond, Virginia, a violent act cut short the life of a local man, leaving a case that would remain unsolved for years to come. On September 27, 2013, Angel Hernandez, a 50-year-old Hispanic male, was fatally wounded by gunfire. The incident marked another grim statistic in the city's count of homicides for the year.
Details surrounding the specific circumstances of Hernandez's death are scarce. Law enforcement officials have not publicly identified any suspects in the case, and no arrests have been made. The investigation into the shooting has been met with challenges, and with the trail growing cold over time, the case was eventually classified as a cold case.
In the weeks that followed the shooting, Hernandez's grieving family made public pleas for any information that might lead to the apprehension of the person or persons responsible for his death. They hoped that someone in the community might have seen or heard something that could provide a crucial break in the investigation. However, despite their appeals and the ongoing efforts of the Richmond Police Department, the case has remained without a resolution, leaving a family without answers and a community with an unsolved crime. Anyone with information regarding the case is encouraged to contact the Richmond Police Department.
