Victim: Erin Richardson, 29.
Date and location of murder: April 23, 2014, Riviera Crescent, Southampton.
Circumstances: Mr Richardson, a construction worker, came with a criminal record, but was described by family as big-hearted and keen to get on with life.
He had been released from prison for his role in a robbery, and was abiding by the terms of his parole, staying with relatives and wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet.
At about 10.45pm, Mr Richardson was sitting on a wall outside the home when he was shot multiple times, and fatally wounded as he attempted to get back indoors.
His aunt, who resided at the house, told The Royal Gazette she was so traumatised after hearing the killing outside that she could no longer stay there.
