VCU student Cody Woodson was taking out his trash on April 5, 2021, when he was gunned down in front of a home on Gilmer Street in Richmond.

This horrific act happened in the same location where a 17-year-old was killed in less than 24 hours prior.

VCU Police said the suspect in Woodson’s death was last seen running west. The police are trying to determine a motive and still following up on all leads.

Anyone with information about the shootings can call Major Crimes Detective Higgins at (804) 646-7570 or Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000.
