On a Christmas night in 2019, the life of Antoine Dickens, a 40-year-old man from Richmond, Virginia, was tragically cut short. In an alley within the Gilpin Court neighborhood, he and another man, 25-year-old Marquise A. Dudley, were discovered by police who had been drawn to the area by the sound of gunshots. Both men had suffered from apparent gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation by the Richmond Police Department sought information from the
public to piece together the events that led to the double homicide. Despite the ongoing inquiries and the passage of time, there have been no publicly announced arrests in connection with the deaths of Antoine Dickens and Marquise A. Dudley. Information regarding any potential suspect or suspects has not been released by law enforcement officials. The case remains an open investigation, leaving a community and two families waiting for answers and justice.
