In the early hours of a Tuesday morning in Richmond, Virginia, the life of Larry Rashaun Pittman, a 21-year-old male, was tragically cut short. On May 21, 2013, at approximately 1:30 a.m., police responded to a report of a shooting in the city's East End. Officers arrived at the 2200 block of Walcott Place to find Pittman lying in the street, having sustained a gunshot wound to the head.
He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators at the time stated that they did not believe the shooting was a random act of violence, suggesting that Pittman may have been targeted. Despite this belief, the case has grown cold over the years. The Richmond Police Department continues to list the death of Larry Rashaun Pittman as an open homicide investigation.
To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder, and no suspects have been publicly identified. Authorities have periodically requested that anyone with information regarding the shooting come forward to assist in the ongoing investigation. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for the family and friends of Larry Pittman, who was remembered in his obituary as a cherished son, brother, and friend.
