Richmond Police detectives have arrested and charged a man
in connection with last night’s homicide on West Broad Street.
At approximately 7:30 p.m. Thursday, officers
received a call for shots fired in a parking lot in the 500 block of West
Broad Street. Officers were on scene within a minute and found Marquis
J. Richardson, 18, of Chester, suffering from gunshot wounds inside a
vehicle. He died at the scene.
Quintin Washington, 28, of the 3900 block of Delmont
Street, has been charged with voluntary
manslaughter and use of firearm in commission of a felony.
Detectives believe an argument between the pair, who knew
each other, was the motive for the shooting.
They are still in the early stages of the investigation and
ask anyone with any information about this crime to call Crime Stoppers at

“ITip” followed by your tip. Both methods are anonymous.
