A Richmond man was shot and killed in a parking lot at an apartment complex on Ruffin Road Saturday night.

According to Richmond Police, Malcolm Coleman, 29, of Richmond, was found unresponsive in the parking lot at the complex on the 2200 block of Ruffin Road from a gunshot wound at 9:54 p.m.

Coleman was transported to a local hospital, where last night he succumbed to his injury.

The Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.

Detectives were notified that at approximately the same time an adult male was transported by personal vehicle to a local hospital. He had suffered a gunshot wound that was not considered life-threatening. Detectives have determined he was injured during the same shooting incident at the Ruffin Road apartment complex.

There were reports of many people present at the location of the shootings. Investigators are asking for persons with knowledge of the circumstances to provide information to detectives.
