2 killed, 7 wounded in a street shooting after a fight in Richmond’s entertainment district
At least two shooters fired during a fight that escalated into gunfire, resulting in two deaths and seven injuries, police said.
- Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said a shooting on North 18th Street killed two and wounded seven during a fight early Saturday in Shockoe Bottom.
- A nearby birthday gathering in Shockoe Bottom preceded the shooting, police and local reports say, as people intervened in a street fight before shots were fired.
- Police said there were at least two shooters, complicating the scene, while witnesses heard automatic-sounding gunfire and forensic teams collecting shell casings found cars struck by bullets.
- Family identified the female victim as 23-year-old Genesis Jones, who had come from Petersburg to celebrate a birthday, while detectives review surveillance footage and urge tips to 804-780-1000 or Crime Stoppers.
- Local media and the Associated Press continue reporting and seeking comment as the probe unfolds, with Edwards calling the incident "frustrating" and not confirming any arrests amid the ongoing investigation status.
