Richmond Police detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify the victim of a homicide that occurred earlier this week.
At approximately 11:37 p.m.
on Sunday, October 11, officers responded to the 100 block of Erich
Road for the report of a person down. Once on scene, they located an adult
male suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead on scene.
The victim is described as a
black male in his late 20s to early 30s, 5’ 10” and 193 lbs. He has brown eyes
and short black hair with a beard and mustache. The victim has no tattoos, but
has substantial scarring on his shoulders, chest, and back, which may have been
caused from acne or a skin condition.
The victim was wearing a gray
t-shirt, black Nike pants, black and gray sneakers, and a red baseball cap. We
have provided stock photos of the t-shirt and pants. The sneakers and baseball
cap are actual items the victim was wearing when he was found.
The victim also may have owned or
been in possession of an unknown type of Infiniti vehicle.
Anyone with information is asked to call Major Crimes Detective A. Darnell at (804) 646-3927 or Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. The P3 Tips Crime Stoppers app for smartphones also may be used. All Crime Stoppers reporting methods are anonymous.
