A person of interest who is believed to have information
about the Mandalay Road homicide has been detained in Georgia.
Richmond Police detectives had been looking for Lionel Carter, III, 23, of the 600 block of
Westover Hills Boulevard, because they believe he may have information
about the fatal shooting of Kadijah N.
Stewart.
Stewart, 19, of the 700 block of Luton Lane, was found shot
to death inside a vehicle on Jan. 31 in the 2200 block of Mandalay Road.
Carter—who was wanted on several warrants unrelated to this
homicide--was arrested without incident in DeKalb County, Georgia, early Sunday
morning by the Fugitive Task Force there. He will have an extradition hearing
before being transported back to Richmond.
Detectives are still asking anyone with information about this
crime to call Detective Anthony Coates at
(804) 517-9031 or call Crime
Stoppers at 780-1000. Citizens may also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by the
tip. Both Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
