Patrick Wyatt McKinley

The shooting happened after a New Year’s party at a nearby house. McKinley and another teen, Patrick Denny, fought after Denny blared his car horn at another car blocking his path. McKinley called for Denny to stop. The two argued, and it escalated to fisticuffs. Then Sanders walked up with a .357 handgun to join the scuffle. He pulled the trigger. McKinley’s life ended and Richardson’s lifelong trial began.

Drugs and alcohol were involved.

After the shooting, Richardson immersed herself in advocating gun control and an end to gun violence. She became an outspoken member of the Million Mom March

She attended the group’s annual march in Washington on Mother’s Day. She met Sarah Brady, chair of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

Richardson networked with U.S. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y

Just weeks before Patrick was taken, during Thanksgiving break, Patrick rented a documentary called Bowling for Columbine and he was insistent that his dad and I watch it, he was on fire with this film. It was Patrick’s wish that everyone watch this film and discuss it.

Patrick’s mom is a founding board member of the Chapter of Murdered Children of VA Beach and is also a member of the Brady Campaign.

Patrick was born in Newport News, VA

While his mom and dad’s marriage did not survive

He lived near Rotterdam, Holland as a baby for two years

His mom remarried and Patrick was raised by his dad, David and mom, Jeanette

Patrick was a Buddhist

He was accepted to the Ringling School of Art and Design—a world class institution in Sarasota, FL.

His best friend was Skylar, and he was looking for love at the time that he was killed.

In April, 2005, Patrick’s mom and dad welcomed a new baby boy Bryce Patrick into their lives.

Patrick had been visiting with a group of friends on New Year’s Eve, not far from his home in a beautiful suburb. He returned home with a small group of his college friends, a party down the street was breaking up as Patrick arrived to his home. Patrick’s murder was committed by absolute strangers. There was a car double parked in front of Patrick’s home when a vehicle from the party drove up behind it, and the driver started honking and yelling. Patrick approached the driver to tell him that the vehicle would be moved, and the driver jumped out and attacked Patrick, knocking him to the ground. The passenger then got out of the vehicle and assaulted Patrick from the back, and a struggle followed. Patrick’s friends tried pulling the two boys off of him, to no avail. Before they knew it, the passenger had called on his cell, then physically went back to the party to get a boy named Kyle. A few words were spoken after that, and then Kyle Sanders shot and killed Patrick with one hollow point bullet to the chest.

Just weeks before Patrick was taken, during Thanksgiving break, Patrick rented a documentary called Bowling for Columbine and he was insistent that his dad and I watch it, he was on fire with this film. It was Patrick’s wish that everyone watch this film and discuss it. Patrick was murdered with a stolen .45 loaded with hydro-shockbullets.

Drugs and alcohol were involved
