The 2006 Richmond spree murders took place during a seven-day period in January 2006 in and around Richmond, Virginia, United States; seven people—four members of the Harvey family and three members of the Baskerville–Tucker family—were killed.
The perpetrators were Ricky Javon Gray (March 9, 1977 – January 18, 2017) and his nephew, Ray Joseph Dandridge (born January 24, 1977). Gray's girlfriend Ashley Baskerville assisted the pair as an accomplice until she became one of their victims as well. After their arrest, Gray and Dandridge were linked to two prior murders, including that of Gray's wife in Pennsylvania, and a near-fatal assault in late 2005.
Dandridge pleaded guilty to murdering the three Baskerville-Tucker victims in exchange for receiving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Gray was convicted of capital murder in connection with the Harvey family murders and was sentenced to death for the killings of the Harvey children. Gray's execution was carried out on January 18, 2017, at 9:42 p.m. by lethal injection. He was the second to last man executed in Virginia before the state abolished capital punishment.
