Richmond Police detectives need the public’s help to identify the vehicle and suspects in last night’s shooting incident of a 7-year-old boy and an adult male.
At
approximately 7:50 p.m., officers were called to the 1500 block of North 22nd
Street in the Fairmount neighborhood for the report of a shooting. Officers
arrived and found the two victims near a bus stop.

victims were transported to a local hospital with injuries that were not
considered life threatening.
