Thanks to media pressure, a man wanted in connection to a recent shooting surrendered to Richmond Police investigators today.

Andre Lee Seward, 35, has been charged with aggravated assault and using a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was wanted in connection with the Dec. 5 shooting in the 2100 block of Phaup Street.
