While police and neighbors are still following up on a recent shoot-out at the Overlook, a drive-by shooting last night on the northern end of the neighborhood has renewed concerns.
A WTVR news report has a few details:
“Richmond Police and VCU Police received the report of a shooting at West Cary and North Laurel Streets,” the university sent students in a Monday morning alert. “Upon arrival, officers located a male that had been shot. Witnesses reported that a black four-door sedan had driven by and an occupant of that vehicle shot the victim. Police have increased patrols in the area.”
VCU confirmed the shooting victim was not a student. The victim’s wounds were considered non-life threatening, according to investigators.
Police provided a vague description of the suspect as a black male wearing a white shirt.
Richmond Police are leading the investigation.
