Officer-Involved Shooting on Decatur Street, Arrests Made
The Richmond Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred last night on Decatur Street.
On December 6, at approximately 11:48 p.m., Richmond Police officers attempted to apprehend known wanted individuals after the subjects parked a vehicle in the 3100 block of Decatur Street. Officers approached the vehicle and attempted to detain the individuals when a male in the passenger seat of the vehicle fired shots at an officer. The officer returned fire with his service weapon. The suspects from the vehicle attempted to flee the area on foot. Three suspects were detained by officers, but not the individual who fired at the officer. Four firearms were recovered from the scene. These subjects were arrested on the following charges:
Devone Brown, 18, of Richmond: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Corey Hewitt, 21, of Chesterfield County: Possession of a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm with an extended magazine.
Kemonte Mayo,
18, of Henrico County:
Outstanding Henrico County arrest warrants for strangulation, simple assault,
and destruction of property.
A short time later an adult male arrived at a local hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The injured male, identified as Calique Harris, 18, of Richmond, was treated and released from the hospital and subsequently arrested for attempted murder and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony relating to this incident. He was also served with an unrelated outstanding arrest warrant from Chesterfield County for contempt of court. The booking photo of Calique Harris is attached.
Chief Rick Edwards and Command Staff, the Forensics Unit, Internal Affairs, and Major Crimes detectives responded to the scene. The officer who discharged their firearm has been placed on paid administrative leave per department policy.
