On a tragic Saturday night, October 19, 2013, the life of 40-year-old George Redmon Jr. was cut short in a violent act that also claimed the life of another man. The double murder unfolded on Richmond's Southside, leaving a family and community in mourning. George was a male resident of Richmond, Virginia at the time of his passing. The incident marked the second time his father, George Redmon Sr., had tragically lost a son to gun violence.
Just before 11 p.m., the Richmond Police
Department received a call about a shooting on Labrook Drive. Upon their arrival, officers discovered the bodies of George Redmon Jr. and 31-year-old James Nash in the yard of a home. Both men had been shot. George Redmon Sr. expressed his profound grief, describing his son as his 'right hand' and someone who never had any problems with anyone, making the motive behind the killing a devastating mystery.
In the aftermath of the discovery, the Richmond Police Department launched an investigation into the double homicide. Witnesses reported seeing an individual standing by a truck at the end of the walkway on the night of the incident, though no further descriptive details were provided. Despite following up on several leads provided by those in the area, the case has grown cold.
To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the murders of George Redmon Jr. and James Nash. The case remains an unsolved and painful chapter for their families and the Richmond community. The senseless act of violence that ended two lives continues to be a source of unanswered questions and a plea for justice that has yet to be realized. The investigation remains open, with authorities still hoping for new information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible.
