Arrest Made in West Broad Street Shooting


July 30, 2019

The Richmond Police Department, with the assistance of the VCU Police Department and the United States Marshals Service, has made an arrest in connection to last week’s shooting on West Broad Street.

Theron T. Mosley, 32, of the 2900 block of Woodcliff Avenue, was apprehended without incident by U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force on Thursday, July 25.  He has been charged with Attempted Murder and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony.  His booking photo is attached.

At approximately 12:28 p.m. on Monday, July 22, officers responded to the parking lot of a business in the 1600 block of West Broad Street for the report of a person shot. When police arrived, they found an adult male with a gunshot wound.  He was taken to a local hospital with a life-threatening injury, which was later downgraded to a non-life threatening injury.  The victim has since been released from the hospital.

RPD detectives have determined this started as a road rage incident on West Broad Street.  Mosley followed the victim a few blocks to the business.  A confrontation then ensued in the parking lot, which ended in gunfire.

“We appreciate the help we received from our partners in the VCU Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service,” said Major Crimes Lt. Richard Edwards.  “Together we were able to bring this case to a swift and safe conclusion.”

Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call Major Crimes Detective P. Ripley at (804) 646-0423 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or at www.7801000.com. The P3 Tips Crime Stoppers app for smartphones may also be used. All Crime Stoppers methods are anonymous.
