RICHMOND COUNTY, Va. — Deputies have arrested the man who allegedly wounded two people in a double shooting in Warsaw early Saturday morning.
After a search by local, state, and federal law enforcement with tips from the community, Tyron “Bundy” Holmes was arrested and charged with five felonies related to the shooting.
Holmes is being held pending a bond hearing and arraignment in Richmond County Courts.
It all started when deputies received a call about a large crowd at the 7-Eleven on Richmond Road just before 4 a.m.
