RICHMOND, Va. — A vigil honored a Richmond father remembered as a “people person” who was murdered in a Richmond neighborhood last week.
Family and friends gathered Saturday night in the 2300 block of Ambrose Street to remember Ketron Green, who was shot in the Whitcomb Court community.
Provided to WTVRThe 30-year-old had just told his girlfriend he was heading out to do a nightly chore on Friday, Jan. 26 when witnesses reported hearing yelling.
“He said, ‘Babe, I’m about to take the dogs out,I’ll be right back.So ” his girlfriend, who spoke to Jon Burkett on the condition of anonymity, said. “It didn’t even feel that long and I heard gunshots ring out.”
Then came a text saying Green was seen down in the courtyard.
“So I throw my clothes on, I run outside and just see him lying there,” Green’s girlfriend recalled. “And I’m on the ground screaming for help — and everybody’s just standing there with their phones out, taking pictures like it’s funny.”
WTVR Green was remembered as a hard worker and a family man.
