Man shot dead in Whitcomb
04/24/2013 6:28 AM by John M
At approximately 9:37PM Tuesday evening, police received several calls of shots fired in the 2600 block of Whitcomb Street. Officers arrived within one minute and found a black male in his 20s collapsed on Whitcomb Street near the intersection of DeForrest Street. Richmond Ambulance Authority personnel pronounced the victim dead of an apparent gunshot wound several minutes later.
This is the 3rd killing in the East End this year and the 6th for the City of Richmond.
The Richmond Police Department has identified the man found shot to death last night as William H. Jackson, 27, of the 2500 block of Bethel Street.
Detectives do not believe this crime was random and are asking for the public’s help for information.
