Detectives with the Richmond Police Special Investigations Division, and with the Virginia State Police, arrested a homicide suspect and seized fentanyl, firearms and cash after executing a search warrant last night in Richmond.
Tod’Quan Jones, 21, of Richmond, was arrested and charged with possession of fentanyl with the intent to distribute, weapons violations, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Other charges are pending. A booking photo of Jones and a photo of the seized items is attached.
Jones is a suspect in the shooting homicide of Keyron Haskins on June 15, 2021 in the 2300 block of Bethel Street.
Seized items included over two pounds of fentanyl and assault-style weapons.
“This dangerous individual posed a threat to everyone in the city and the region – and thanks to the excellent work by RPD detectives and the Virginia State Police – he is now in custody,” said RPD Chief Gerald M. Smith. “Fentanyl is a deadly narcotic responsible for many overdose deaths – and this enormous amount of the drug is now no longer on the streets and a threat to our community.”
MEDIA: Major Ronnie Armstead is available for interviews this afternoon.
