The Richmond
Police Department is asking for help from the general public to identify a
suspect who beat and robbed a man earlier this month in Shockoe Bottom.
The attack
occurred in the 2200 block of East Broad Street in the early morning hours of
Wednesday, December 19th.
RPD detectives
have determined through video surveillance images and eyewitness accounts that
the attacker left with the victim from Club Rouge, robbed him of several
hundred dollars, and then returned to the club where he was seen with an
unknown female.
A hat worn by the
suspect was found at the scene of the attack. It is a blue and gray baseball
cap with the word “DOPE” on the front.
Detectives ask
anyone with any information about the identity of the suspect or the woman seen
in his company to call First Precinct Detective J. Mitchell at (804)
646-0569 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000, online at www.7801000.com. The
