A 19-year-old Richmond man died from an apparent gunshot wound after being found unresponsive yesterday morning on the pavement at the rear door of a GRTC bus.
Ralshief Richardson was identified by Richmond Police detectives as the victim of the Richmond Highway homicide. Officers were called to the scene at approximately 7:30 a.m. and located Richardson, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives have determined there were passengers on the bus at the time of the shooting who may have left the area.
The southbound lanes of Richmond Highway were closed to accommodate the investigation.
The Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.
