Richmond Police detectives are investigating a triple shooting that occurred yesterday afternoon in the Highland Park section of the city.
At approximately 4:06 p.m., yesterday, March 1, RPD officers
were called to Anne Hardy Plaza Community Park in the 3300 block of 1st
Avenue for a report of a shooting. They quickly located two men, each with a
non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Two minutes after the first call, another call was received
that directed RPD officers to 2500 block of 3rd Avenue where they
found another man with life-threatening gunshot wounds.
All three men were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
After interviewing several witnesses, RPD detectives quickly
determined that all three men were wounded during an exchange of gunfire at the
park. The motive appears to have been a domestic argument.
Two men have been arrested and charged with Possession of a
Firearm by a Convicted Felon. They are:
- Rashad J. Haskins, 23, of the 3600 block of Missouri
Avenue
- Rashad L. D. Bugg, 24, of the 3400 block of Martin
Avenue
The park was full of people, including children, at the time
of the shooting. Detectives would like to speak to as many of those witnesses
as possible.
