A Richmond man pleaded guilty earlier this month to charges related to an interstate shooting that occurred on Nov. 24.
Jerrell Anthony Hill Jr., 28, was convicted of aggravated malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
According to online court records, Hill was sentenced to 40 years in prison with 25 years suspended for the main charge and sentenced to three years for the firearm charge.
Other charges were dropped as part of the plea deal.
The investigation found that the occupants of two vehicles were traveling westbound on Interstate 64 near mile marker 186, in the City of Richmond, when an individual in one vehicle fired multiple rounds at the other. The incident took place at 11:38 p.m.
The victim, Calvin W. Carter Jr., 40, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Virginia State Police reported Hill was in custody on unrelated charges two days after the interstate shooting.

“We are incredibly grateful to the members of the public who came forward and assisted investigators in solving this case,” said Capt. Brien Frey, commander of the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Richmond field office.
Shootings have become more common on Virginia interstates with recent incidents on 64, 81 and 295.
