Remembering David Emmanuel-Sinclair Copeland 🏀

On May 15, 2014, David Emmanuel-Sinclair Copeland was tragically shot and killed along Meadowdale Boulevard in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Just 23 years old, David was a former basketball standout at Chesterfield Community High School who continued his athletic career at Grambling State University. He had returned home on a school break when his life was suddenly taken. Investigators do not believe he was the intended target, and authorities suspect the person responsible may still be in the area.
    Nearly a decade later, the case remains unsolved, and the loss continues to weigh heavily on Copeland’s family, friends, and the community. Described by loved ones as a painful and unfair tragedy, his death has left lasting heartbreak. The Chesterfield County Police Department continues to prioritize the investigation, urging anyone who may have seen or heard something to come forward. Efforts to generate leads have included the video series “Chesterfield Unsolved” and features through the Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program, which offers cash rewards for tips. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has also offered a reward for information leading to an arrest.

Despite the passage of time, law enforcement remains determined to seek justice for David Copeland, holding onto hope that someone in the community has the information needed to finally bring answers and accountability. 💙🙏
