Raquiah Paulette King, 20, was found dead in a roadside ditch in Glen Allen, Hanover County, on July 21, 2022. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide by gunshot; she was three months pregnant at the time. King's mother had received a sonogram image and was told her daughter was having problems with her boyfriend over the pregnancy.

Investigators traced the case to 27-year-old U.S. Navy lieutenant Emmanuel Dewayne Coble of Hampton. Authorities say King had moved to Virginia to live with him and that Coble did not want to be a father, pressing her to have an abortion. The day before King’s body was found, Coble reportedly drove her to an abortion clinic but she changed her mind. Prosecutors contend that decision led to the fatal shooting; Coble was arrested on August 11, 2022, and charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm. During the investigation, human blood was detected in the trunk of his car.

King’s family described her as a ray of sunlight who was fun, beautiful, courageous, and strong. Did anyone in the Glen Allen or Hampton areas see King or her car in the days before July 21, 2022?
