Richmond Police detectives are asking for help from the
public as they investigate a shooting last month that severely wounded a
resident of the Foxwood Apartments on the city’s south side.
Information that results in an arrest could earn the tipster
a Crime Stoppers reward.
At approximately 5:49 p.m., Tuesday, February 23, RPD
officers were called to the apartment complex in the 5000 block of Snead Road
for a report of a shooting. They located an 18 year old male who had been shot.
The victim remains hospitalized.
As a result of their investigation, RPD detectives believe
this was not a random shooting. They say if they receive the right tip, they
could make a quick arrest in this case.
They ask anyone willing to identify the shooter to call Major
Crimes Detective Jay Brissette at (804) 646-3867 or contact Crime
Stoppers at 780-1000 or at www.7801000.com.
Tips about persons in possession of illegally-held guns by can be submitting by
texting Crime Stoppers at 274637, then using the keyword “GUN250”
followed by the tip. Rewards will be paid up to $250. All the Crime
Stoppers methods are anonymous.
