The
Richmond Police Department has arrested Micha L. Smith, 18, of the 400 block
of Hazelhurst Avenue for a shooting that occurred almost two weeks ago in
the Bellevue neighborhood on the city’s Northside.
At
approximately 1:08 p.m. on Friday, November 1, officers were called to
the 1400 block of Avondale Avenue for a report of a person shot. Officers
arrived and located an adult male victim with a life-threatening gunshot wound.
He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. His condition has since
been upgraded to non-life threatening.
“This
is a great example of Northside community members cooperating with us,” said Major
Crimes Detective Patrick Ripley. “As a result of some quality information,
RPD officers were able to locate Smith yesterday in the 2600 block of
Chamberlayne Avenue and take him into custody.”
Smith
has been charged with Attempted Murder and the Use of a Firearm in the
Commission of a Felony.
