The driver who hit and killed Valentine museum director Bill Martin was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday, and has been charged with three misdemeanors.

Police said that Harry McCray, a 38-year-old from Moseley, surrendered at the city jail after the indictments.

McCray has been charged with failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk, careless driving and infliction of death on a vulnerable road user and driving while license is suspended or revoked.

All three charges are Class 1 misdemeanors, each of which can be punished by up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette McEachin is the one who ultimately decides whether to pursue charges in these cases.

Martin was killed on Dec. 27, 2025, at age 71, after being struck while walking in a crosswalk just blocks from the Valentine, at 10th and Broad.

At the time of the accident, police said that McCray remained on the scene.

Martin spent 32 years at the Valentine. In a statement after his death, the museum said Martin dedicated his life "to telling Richmond’s stories with care, integrity and a deep love for this community."

Bill Martin was known as the Valentine’s leader. He was also a quiet champion for Richmond’s LGBTQ+ community.

“Bill was doing this work before anybody else.”
