RICHMOND, Va. – Police are investigating a homicide after a shooting outside a Richmond Subway restaurant in broad daylight Sunday afternoon.

Officials said they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds on the sidewalk outside the Subway.

Mercante said the victim was transported to an area hospital where he died of his injuries.

Officials said the Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.
