The Richmond Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the person in the surveillance photo and video that is a suspect in last month’s Shockoe Bottom homicide as the family of the victim offers a reward for information.
At approximately 2:10 a.m., Saturday, May 21, officers were called to the 1500 block of East Main Street for the report of a person down. Officers arrived and found an adult male, Xavier Brown, 23, of Richmond, down and unresponsive in a parking lot. He had suffered a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The family of Brown has offered a $3,500 reward for information that leads to the identification and conviction of the person in the photo and video who is suspected of shooting Brown.
