Rufus Witcher (left) and Jemarlo Tisdale were killed in March 2024 inside a home on Nine Mile Road in Henrico's East End. Witcher's mother, Diane, said "It hurts every day."

Henrico detectives have had a person of interest in mind for some time in the March 2024 killings of Rufus Witcher and Jemarlo Tisdale, but no arrests have been made. Crime Insider sources say federal investigators may now get involved to bring fresh eyes and added resources to the case.

The two men were gunned down on March 29, 2024, inside what sources describe as an illegal gambling operation hidden in plain sight inside a home on Nine Mile Road in Henrico's East End.

Rufus Witcher's mother, Diane Witcher, said the silence surrounding her son's death has been devastating.

"It's on a standstill, you know, no one is talking," she said. "People were in that house, and they know what happened to my son."
