4th Avenue Officer-Involved Shooting


December 14, 2017

The Richmond Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred this morning in the north side of the city.

At approximately 8:27 a.m., Thursday, December 14, an RPD officer spotted a vehicle matching the description of one that was seen at a shooting that had occurred minutes earlier in Gilpin Court. The officer attempted to stop the vehicle but it sped away. A short pursuit ensued.

At approximately 8:29 a.m., the vehicle was forced to stop in 3300 block of 4th Avenue when the roadway ended at a wooded area. One occupant exited the vehicle and fired multiple shots from an assault-style weapon at the officer, striking his cruiser. The officer returned fire, striking the shooter. A second occupant exited the vehicle and fled into the wooded area.

Additional RPD officers arrived at the scene. They applied a tourniquet to the leg of the wounded shooter, likely saving his life, until paramedics arrived to transport him to a local hospital. He is expected to survive. An assault-style weapon was recovered near the vehicle.

At approximately 9:24 a.m., RPD officers located the second occupant of the vehicle in the wooded area.

Charges have not yet been filed as RPD detectives are continuing their investigation. The shooter, an adult male, will not be identified at this time. The second occupant of the vehicle will not be identified as he is a juvenile male.


“This was outstanding police work by every officer involved in the incident, especially the pursuing officer who faced a deadly threat alone and acted without hesitation.” said RPD Chief Alfred Durham. “Think about this - the responding officers who applied the tourniquet saved the life of a man who had just attempted to kill one of their fellow officers. That is their commitment to the preservation of life.”

The RPD officer who discharged his weapon has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation by the Department’s Force Investigation Team, (FIT). Major Crimes Division detectives and forensic examiners will use multiple officer and eyewitness accounts, physical evidence, and body-camera footage to prepare a report that will be reviewed by Chief Durham and submitted to the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.

The officer’s name will not be released until a retaliation risk-assessment has been completed. The body-camera footage is considered to be evidence and will not be released until the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office has ruled on the incident.

The Gilpin Court shooting occurred at approximately 8:24 a.m. in the 1200 block of St. John Street. The victim, an adult male, is expected to survive.

Foul Play Suspected in Disappearance of Keeshae Jacobs


November 30, 2017

After 14 months of intense investigation, the Richmond Police Department is renewing its call for information to locate Keeshae E. Jacobs. Her photo is attached.

Family and friends have not heard from Ms. Jacobs since Monday September 26, 2016 when she told a family member she would see them the next day. When she did not return to her residence in the Westover neighborhood they immediately contacted police. After working the case for over a year with no sign of Keeshae, police now suspect foul play in her disappearance. 

“Keeshae’s family understands the scope and magnitude of this investigation,” said Major Crimes Det. William Thompson. “This is not a young lady that just decided to run away or move to another state, it is not her character to not call her family or friends in 14 months when she would reach out to them every day.”  

She is described as a black female, age 21, 5’3” tall, weighing approximately 100 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing black basketball shorts, pink and black Nike basketball shoes and a pink scarf. She has tattoos on her right foot, right leg and right hand of a leaf, paws and a flower, respectively.

“Detectives have worked diligently in an effort to locate and find Miss Jacobs,” said Det. Thompson. “We hope that publicizing our belief that she was met with foul play might prompt others to come forward with information that will help solve this case.”


Anyone who has knowledge or information concerning the disappearance of Ms. Jacobs or has information on her whereabouts is asked to call Major Crimes Detective William Thompson at (804) 646-3925 or Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.
