Cold Case: Many Witnesses, Few Tips in Christmastime Homicide of 2000


June 26, 2018

The Richmond Police Department is still seeking information related to the homicide of
Clyde E. Foster who was found dead in Northside 18 years ago, days after the Christmas holiday.

Around 8 a.m. on Dec. 27, 2000, Foster, who was also known as “Butter,” was shot multiple times in the 3700 block of Loudon Street near East Ladies Mile Road. When police arrived, his body was faced down and partially covered in snow. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 28 years old at the time of his death.

Police believe Foster may have been inside of a burgundy Honda sedan shortly before he was killed.

“Several individuals in the area heard gunfire around 10 p.m. the night before Foster was found, however there were no calls to police to respond at the time they occurred,” said Det. D. Burt. “While this case occurred nearly two decades ago, we ask that anyone who may recall any details from that night to contact us.”

Anyone with information about this homicide is asked to call Major Crimes Detective D. Burt at (804) 646-3913 or contact Crime Stoppers at 780-1000
or at www.7801000.com. The P3 Tips Crime Stoppers app for smartphones may also be used. All Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
