Richmond Police detectives
need the public’s help to provide information relating to a shooting which occurred in the city’s Northside.
Around 10:15 p.m. on Friday, April 21, an officer was in route to an unrelated call when he was flagged by a witness in the 1500 block of Chamberlayne Avenue.
The officer was told a
vehicle, occupied by four black, male juveniles, turned northbound onto
Chamberlayne Avenue from West Bacon Street. As the suspects were yelling
unknown obscenities, a passenger in the back left-hand side of the vehicle
began firing his weapon striking the windshield of a sedan. The vehicle then
fled northbound on Chamberlayne Avenue. No injuries were reported at the scene.
Ten minutes later, a gunshot victim was brought to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been treated and released.
