Richard Ferrell was 23 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of October 20, 2018, in Franklin, Virginia. He lived in the Southampton Meadows Mobile Home Park and was on Carter Street when an altercation involving several people escalated to a fatal shooting. Law enforcement from the Southampton County Sheriff’s Office arrived about 12:41 a.m. and found Ferrell fatally wounded; no one else was injured.

An ID from New Jersey found at the scene briefly caused confusion about the victim’s identity, but officials confirmed the man was local resident Richard Ferrell. The sheriff’s office opened an investigation and has appealed for information, asking anyone with knowledge to contact Lt. Camden Cobb or submit anonymous tips through the Southampton/Franklin Crime Line. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains open.

Did anyone in the area on Carter Street that night see or hear anything that could help investigators?
