Richmond Police
detectives need the public’s help to identify the man in the attached sketch
who is suspected of shooting a man on Belle Isle.
Shortly after midnight
on Tuesday, two men were approached on the south side of the island by two
white males. One of the suspects demanded money, and in the following moments,
one male suspect shot and severely wounded one of the victims. Both male
suspects then ran away down the bike path that leads to the BMX park.
The victim remains
in critical condition.
A sketch of the male shooting suspect is below. He is
described as a white male, 18 to 25 years old, approximately 6’0” feet tall
with a skinny build and shaved hair. He was last seen wearing a clean white
t-shirt over top of blue jeans. He was in the company of an older white male in
his 40’s, approximately 6’1” tall, with a skinny but muscular build. The older male was last seen wearing a dark
blue, long-sleeved cotton t-shirt, faded blue jeans and a plain blue baseball
cap. These men should be considered armed
and dangerous.
Anyone with any

Crimes Det. Ed Aeschlimann at (804) 646-3351 or the Richmond Police Department
