The Richmond Police Department has identified the victim of last night’s homicide in Richmond’s Oak Grove neighborhood as Husain El-Amin, 59, of the 5600 block of Iron Horse Road, Chesterfield, VA.
At
approximately 9:38 p.m., Tuesday, March 12th, RPD officers were called to the 2300
block of Halifax Avenue for a report of a person shot. They located El-Amin
lying on the sidewalk. He had been shot multiple times.
Husain was
transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced shortly before 10:00
p.m.
“We believe
that Husain was shot by a single individual, a man riding a small-frame
bicycle,” said Major Crimes Captain James Laino. “We have already spoken to
several people in the neighborhood. We believe there were additional people who
were in the immediate area at the time of the shooting. What they might tell us
could be tremendously helpful to the detectives.”
