Aidan Christopher Cameron, an 18-year-old from Henrico, Virginia, was killed in the early hours of February 26, 2024. Loved ones remembered him as funny, helpful, and big-hearted; he had recently earned his GED and was described as someone who could always make people smile. Just after midnight, Henrico Police responded to a shooting in the 1600 block of Lakeside Avenue and found Aidan in a yard behind an apartment building with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital after life-saving measures but died that morning.

Investigators identified three suspects. On March 4, 2024, Henrico authorities arrested 18-year-old Jaiden Akiva-Nadir Fowlkes and 21-year-old Diamond Chrishell Henley, both from Henrico, and a third person was sought. That search ended on March 15, 2024, when 22-year-old Travis Lamar Paige, Jr. of Richmond was taken into custody. All three were charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; two of the three later pleaded guilty to Aidan’s murder as of March 2024.

If anyone knew Aidan or has information about the events that led to his death, please come forward.
