Since Andrew Gary was shot and killed on his birthday in 2020, detectives with the Richmond Police Department have been investigating the homicide. Detectives are renewing their call for the public to come forward with information that can lead to Gary’s killer.
At approximately 12:03 a.m., on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, officers were called to an apartment complex in the 900 block of North 31st Street for the report of a shooting. Officers arrived and found Andrew Gary, 33, of Richmond, down and unresponsive outside a residence, suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite officers and RAA emergency personnel providing medical attention to Gary, he died at the scene.
Gary was with a group of friends when he was shot by someone standing near an adjacent building in the complex. Detectives have determined this shooting was most likely a case of mistaken identity and may be connected to a shooting at the same location two weeks prior, which killed a juvenile male, 15, and injured a juvenile female, 3.
The family of Andrew Gary has provided his photo in hopes of generating tips and information from those who knew him or have details about the gunfire that took his life on the anniversary of his birth.
Anyone with information about this homicide is asked to call Detective N. Reese at (804) 646-0712 or Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. The P3 Tips smartphone app may also be used. All Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
