RICHMOND, Va. -- The Richmond Police Department is investigating a Thursday evening shooting that killed one man.
Just after 5 p.m. Thursday, officers arrived at the 1800 block of T Street in Richmond where they found the victim, a man, with a gunshot wound on the sidewalk.
The victim, 66-year-old Keith Turner, was taken to VCU Medical Center where he later died from his injuries.
Turner's family members tell CBS 6's Jon Burkett that he was a grandfather, and didn't live far from where he was murdered.
A resident who lives in the area told Burkett that he was a witness to the murder, and later saw a man standing over the victim, continuing to fire gunshots.
Major Crimes detectives say they spent two hours combing through surveillance video from nearby convenience stores, as well as evidence found on the street.
The crime scene was not too far from a previous shooting in Mosby,where a three-year-old boy was shotin the neck, according to Crime Insider sources.
The young victim is currently in serious but stable condition at VCU Medical Center.
Police say they believe it was an accidental shooting and say they are not looking for any suspects at this time.
If the T Street murder is later classified as a homicide, it would be Richmond's 58th murder - five more than the city had at this time in 2022 and more than the 2022 total of 57.
