RICHMOND, Va. — A man was arrested just minutes after a deadly shooting in Richmond's Mosby Court neighborhood Friday evening, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
The shooting happened in the 1500 block of Coalter Street, near Redd Street, around 6 p.m. Sources told Burkett that a man was walking in the area when he was hit by bullets.
The victim, identified Monday as Darnell Christian, 63, was shot multiple times. He was taken to VCU Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Police said 56-year-old Tommy Moore was taken into custody after being pulled over on Interstate 64 just minutes after the shooting.
Burkett said 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," Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said.
Edwards said the violence began after an argument escalated.
Moore was charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
