In the early morning hours of May 16, 2015, the body of 36-year-old Juan V. Dehaney was discovered lying in the grass between two apartment buildings in the Hillside Court area of Richmond, Virginia. Richmond Police were called to the 1800 block of Southlawn Avenue at approximately 5:35 a.m. for a report of a person down. Upon arrival, they found Dehaney, who had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.
At the time of the initial investigation, he was reported to have no permanent address.
The Richmond Police Department publicly identified Juan Dehaney as the victim of the homicide and appealed to the public for any information that might lead to an arrest. Investigators from the Major Crimes unit were assigned to the case, and the public was encouraged to contact them or use the anonymous Crime Stoppers tip line to provide any details they might have.
Despite the initial investigation and public appeals for information, the case of Juan Dehaney's murder has grown cold. In the years that have passed since his death, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made or the identification of any suspects in connection with his killing. The homicide of Juan Dehaney is listed among the city's unsolved cases, leaving his family and community without answers or a sense of justice for his untimely death.
