In less than 24 hours, Richmond Police detectives have identified
and arrested Randy L. Trent in connection with last night’s double homicide.
At approximately 10 p.m. Wednesday, officers received a
call for shots fired in the 700 block of Stockton Street . When they arrived, they
found Ahkeem K. Phillips, 28, of Virginia Beach , shot
to death in the lobby of the apartment building. His brother, Ahmad K. Phillips, 24, of the 700 block of Stockton Street ,
was taken to VCU Medical Center
where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Detectives believe the motive for these shootings was a dispute
between neighbors.
They still ask anyone with any information
about this crime to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or text
Crime Stoppers at 274637,
using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip. Both methods are anonymous.
