A 54-year-old Richmond man is dead after a shooting Friday night in the Shockoe Bottom area of the city.
Richard McKinnon, 54, of Richmond, was found down and unresponsive at 10:26 p.m. in the 100 block of North 20th Street.
Richmond Police detectives have arrested and charged Anthony Williams, 31, of Richmond, with murder.
According to authorities, a RPD sergeant was walking in an area identified as a hot spot for crime when gunshots were heard approximately two blocks away.
The “hotspot curve” is a crime deterrent strategy that deploys officers to locations with a history of violence incidents. The strategy is to use officer visibility to deter crime, and it allows for a more rapid response if a crime occurs.
The Medical Examiner will determine cause and manner of death of McKinnon.
Anyone with further information about this homicide is asked to call Major Crimes Detective C. Tovar at (804) 646-6739 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000.
