Police said they received a call just after 10 p.m. for a shooting in the 2000 block of North 29th Street. When police arrived the found a man dead at the scene.
This is the 12th homicide in the East End this year, and the 37th in Richmond in 2015.
My thoughts and prayers go out to their family. This is awful. Why would anyone shoot anyone especially at Christmas?
