Ericelle C. Coleman—2016 Richmond Homicide #5

Here’s what we know so far.

February 4, 2016; 1:50 PM • by Susan Howson

We’re calling this a homicide because it has been officially termed as such by the Richmond Police Department. Before you tell us we’ve missed one–was it actually a death investigation (often self-defense)? Was it within city limits? Did the person die of wounds received in a different year? All of those deaths do not get officially counted as Richmond homicides for this year.
