Richmond Police detectives have
arrested a man in connection with a double homicide that occurred last week.
Detectives identified Rashard
S. Cutler, 21, of the 600 block of Woodhaven Drive, as a suspect and Second
Precinct officers spotted him and arrested him late Monday night. He has
been charged with conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the double
homicides that occurred Oct. 19.
At approximately 2:27 a.m. on
Sunday, Oct. 19, officers received a call for a person shot in the 400
block of Westover Hills Boulevard. They arrived on scene within minutes and
found three people who had been shot.
Elijah D. Gee, 24, of the
