The Richmond
Police Department has identified the victims of two separate homicides which
occurred last night in the Fulton Hill and Swansboro West neighborhoods.
The first
incident occurred at approximately 7:15 p.m. yesterday evening, when police
received several calls in reference to a shooting in the 4300 block of Government
Road at Gillies Creek Park. When officers arrived, they came upon hundreds
of individuals who were attending an event. While there were many witnesses, no
one had information on the victim or suspect’s whereabouts.
Minutes later,
officers were told a victim arrived at a local hospital suffering from a
life-threatening gunshot wound. The victim was identified as Jamar L.
Anderson, 32, of the 2200 block of Selden Street. He succumbed to his
injuries at the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Around this time, a second victim, suffering from a non-life
threatening gunshot wound, arrived at the hospital.
At a separate scene shortly before 10 p.m., police were called to
the 100 block of Wythemar Road for random gunfire. Seconds later, the
several calls reported a person down inside of a white Ford SUV. Officers
arrived and found the driver inside of the vehicle suffering from a gunshot
wound. It also appeared the vehicle struck multiple vehicles in the
intersection of Larchmont Lane and Wythemar Road.
The victim, Terrain L. Hunter, 35, of the 2200 block of
Summerhill Ave, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Medical
Examiner will determine cause and manner of death of both victims. Police do
not believe the incidents are related. No suspect information is available at
this time.
