A packed parking lot at the Henrico County Government complex was anything but ordinary on Wednesday evening, as survivors and victims of crime gathered to walk in solidarity, honoring the memories of those lost.

“I’m walking for my son, Taji, who was killed Christmas of 2022,” one participant shared. “Having other people to bond with during these tough times makes you realize that you’re not alone.”

The gathering, organized by Henrico's Victim Witness Services, aimed to connect survivors and create a supportive network.

Victim advocates from Henrico County work tirelessly to support survivors even after court cases conclude. The office hosts two major events each year to provide resources and foster connections among survivors.
