Murder on Fairfield Avenue
01/28/2010 7:35 PM by John M
The Richmond Police Department is investigating a homicide that occurred along Fairfield Avenue at around 4PM this afternoon. Responding to a call of shots fired, officers found a man on the ground at the intersection of Fairfield Avenue and North 20th Street. The victim was transported to VCU Medical where he died.
This is the first homicide in the East End this year. The last killing in the East End was almost 6 months ago, also along the Fairfield Avenue corridor.
I just saw it on the news… it looks like 19th not 20th. Well I am at least glad it’s been a long time. I hope there won’t be any more.
The victim has been identified as Shawn Smith:
I agree with Cadeho: we can find joy in the fact we went nearly half a year without a homicide. That’s huge. It seems 5 years ago the east end would be lucky to go half a month.
The saddest part is that elementary school children are being dropped off at that time. I’m glad no stray bullets hit one of them.
wat yal mean my uncle shawn is die and yal car about kid
love yoh (&&] rip shawn
In re: #4 and #5, I have to agree with Alexus…”The saddest part is” that a man is DEAD.
can someone translate what Alexus said?
We’re sorry for your loss, Alexus. We’ll be praying for you and your family.
#5 —> ummm… What?!
Translation: “wat yal mean my uncle shawn is die and yal car about kid
love yoh (&&] rip shawn”
What do you mean [#4]? My uncle Shawn is dead and all that you care about is the kids [at the elementary school]. [I] love you. Rest in peace, Shawn.
Alexus, may the of the Infinite Spirit guide you and your family during these tough times….you are right…your uncle died…and some people say the saddest part is the kids coming from school were there…
Shawn lived next door and he was a good person and he didnt bother no one and that dumb bitch who killed him should suffer every day in prison three of his other brother got killed andi seen shawn when he clospe R.I.P SHAWN
