Richmond Police detectives are asking for the public’s help
to identify the man in the attached photo who may have valuable information
about a fatal shooting overnight on the city’s south side.
Around 1:14 a.m., officers were called to the 2700 block of
Hull Street for a report of a shooting. They quickly located a person with
gunshot wounds – a man dressed as a woman – lying unresponsive on the ground.
He was transported to a local hospital where, at 10:16 a.m., he was pronounced
dead.
The victim has been identified as William D. Norwood, 30,
of the 3800 block of Caulder Street.
Although it is still early in their investigation, RPD
detectives believe the man in the photo may have been nearby at the time of the
shooting. They would like to speak with him about what he may have seen and
heard. He was last seen leaving the area in a dark colored sedan, possibly a
Hyundai Sonata.
He is described as a black male, 30-40 years old, 6’2”- 6’4”
tall, weighing approximately 290 pounds.
Detectives are confident they will be able to provide the
public with a much better look at the man once the photo is enhanced. They are
hopeful he may even contact them before that occurs.
Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call
Major Crimes Detective Anthony Coates at (804) 646-0729 or contact
Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or at www.7801000.com.
