RICHMOND, Va. -- Police have made an arrest after a man suffering from a gunshot wound was left outside Chippenham Hospital's emergency roomSaturday afternoon.
The victim was later identified as 22-year-old Nygel E. Williams of the 400 block of Vevadel Drive.
Officials said Williams was shot at 3:30 p.m. while visiting his "good friend," 22-year-old Darell N. Meredith of the 5000 block of Nutmeg Circle.
"Meredith and several other friends transported Williams to Chippenham Hospital in a private vehicle," Richmond Police spokesperson Gene Lepley said. "Within minutes of arriving at the hospital, Williams was pronounced dead of a gunshot wound to the chest."
Williams' death resulted from the "careless handling of a firearm by Meredith," according to detectives.
As a result, Meredith was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter.
