On December 28, 2016, 36-year-old Ryan Neal Glickman, a male, was found deceased in Petersburg, Virginia. His death was ruled a homicide. The Petersburg Police Department launched a thorough investigation after Glickman's body was discovered in an alley between Terrace Avenue and Clayton Street at approximately 4:10 p.m. It was determined that he had sustained at least one fatal gunshot wound.
Investigators at the scene found evidence suggesting Glickman was shot at one location in the alley and then ran for about 30 feet before he collapsed. Authorities recovered a shell casing in the vicinity, though its connection to the shooting was not immediately clear. Two witnesses reported hearing four distinct gunshots on the afternoon of the incident. One of these witnesses discovered Glickman's body and alerted the police.
In the days following the discovery, police sought assistance from the public to create a timeline of Glickman's activities on the day he was killed. It was noted that he did not drive and would often walk to various local hotels and stores. Despite the efforts of law enforcement and public appeals for information, details regarding any specific suspects or arrests in connection with the murder have remained scarce. The investigation into Ryan Glickman's death is considered ongoing, as authorities continue to hope for new leads that could bring resolution to the case.
