RICHMOND, Va. — New technology helped Richmond police make an arrest in their latest homicide investigation, less than two hours after a man was shot in Mosby Court on Friday evening, Crime Insider sources tell Jon Burkett.
The shooting happened in the block of around Coalter Street, near Redd Street around 6 p.m. Sources say a man was walking in the area when he was hit by bullets.
The victim was taken to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. Multiple people at the scene told Burkett that the victim was very loved in the community.
Sources say a suspect has been stopped by police on Interstate 64 east near the Richmond International Airport exit. Traffic is reportedly backed up in the area.
Burkett has learned a license plate reader helped police make the traffic stop.
"This case is just a testament to the technology involved, very quickly we had license plate information, video of the information, local jurisdiction was very instrumental in helping us. While I can't give all the updates at this time, we're not looking for any additional suspects and we don't believe there's an ongoing threat to the community," Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said.
