In the early hours of March 10, 2016, the life of 23-year-old Jahshim Nahshon Turnbull, a Black male from Virginia Beach, was tragically cut short in Henrico County, near Richmond, Virginia. Around 12:15 a.m., a citizen flagged down a police officer near the intersection of Alma Avenue and East Laburnum Avenue to report a shooting. Responding to the alert, officers discovered Turnbull's body on Conway Street, near Cliff Avenue.
He had been fatally shot.
The investigation into the homicide led authorities to identify two suspects in connection with the crime. Anton Lateef Edwards, a 25-year-old from Bowling Green, and Adrian Kinchen were subsequently arrested. The motive for the killing remained unclear as the investigation progressed. Both men faced a string of serious charges, including first-degree murder, robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Edwards faced an additional charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Ultimately, both Anton Lateef Edwards and Adrian Kinchen pleaded guilty to the murder of Jahshim Nahshon Turnbull, bringing a resolution to the legal proceedings. Edwards was sentenced to 50 years in prison with 20 years suspended, resulting in an active sentence of 30 years. He received an additional three years for the firearm charge. Kinchen was sentenced to 50 years with 35 years suspended, leaving him with a 15-year active prison term, supplemented by an additional three years for the firearm charge.
