Tercer homicidio del año en Richmond: sospechoso arrestado horas después del tiroteo del viernes

A person was shot and killed Friday evening in Richmond's Iron Triangle neighborhood, marking the city's third homicide of 2026. Police announced the arrest of a suspect within hours of the incident.

Officers responded just before 6:30 p.m. to the 200 block of West Nevin Avenue, north of the St.

John's Apartments, where they found a victim suffering from a gunshot wound. The individual was pronounced dead at the scene.

"With the assistance of the Concord Police Department, the suspect was located and taken into custody without incident later that evening," Richmond police said in a statement. "This case highlights the value of technology, strong investigative work, and regional law enforcement partnerships in helping bring violent offenders into custody quickly."

Neither the victim nor the suspect have been publicly identified, and detectives continue to investigate the motive behind the shooting. Richmond's Flock cameras, which had been turned off for several months last year to protect against a potential data breach, were reinstated in March and may have aided in the investigation.

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact the Richmond Police Department's investigations bureau at (510) 621-1288.
