RICHMOND, Va. — A Henrico County family is mourning the loss of a 24-year-old man who was fatally shot in downtown Richmond early Saturday morning, remembering him as a loved son, brother, and nephew whose life was cut short.

Malachi Morgan was found with a gunshot wound in a parking lot in the 400 block of East Broad Street after Richmond police responded to reports of a shooting at approximately 2:15 a.m. on Nov. 7.

Morgan died at the scene, according to Richmond police.

Authorities have not released information about a possible suspect or the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The investigation remains ongoing.

In a family statement, relatives described Morgan’s death as tragic and senseless, saying his sudden loss has left them struggling to come to terms with a future that will never unfold.

At just 24, Morgan had many years ahead of him, his family said, emphasizing that he was more than another victim of gun violence.

The family also expressed gratitude for the support, prayers, and generosity they have received from friends, relatives, and members of the community during their time of grief.

As investigators continue working to establish what happened, relatives are asking anyone with information about the shooting to come forward. They said finding answers and securing justice for Morgan remain important as they navigate their loss.

Above all, the family hopes Morgan will be remembered for the life he lived and the people he touched, rather than the circumstances of his death. They have also requested privacy and continued prayers for his mother and other loved ones.

A GoFundMe campaign has been established to help support Morgan’s family following his death.
