RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) -

On the edge of the Museum District, in the shadow of Carytown, a killer got away seven years ago.

"You're a block from Carytown, all the nice shops and things, people spending money over here. you would never think a block away, your best friend was murdered.I mean it's crazy," said Justin "Boz" Boswell.

Super Sunday, February 6, 2006: 22-year-old Michael Dobbs was walking to his car from a friend's house around 1:30 in the morning. They'd been planning a party. His Steelers were in the Superbowl.

"We were getting ready for the Superbowl that night. The Steelers were playing. He was really looking forward to it," said longtime-friend Dan Waters.

Dobbs had just graduated college and moved back home. He was a Hermitage graduate and a long distance runner. Police believe two or three people tried to rob him as he walked to his car. There was a scuffle and he tried to run.

"That's what he did best, but youcan't outrun a gun," said Waters.

Police have very few witnesses, andfewleads have trickled in over the years.

Detective Joe Fultz has been on the case from the very beginning. We've interviewed him several times over the years. It's never any easier for him to be back at the place Michael took his last breathe.

"I walked up here as I arrived on the scene.Mr. Dobbs was laying right in this spot," said Detective Fultz.
