RICHMOND, Va. -- Two men were shot and killed Tuesday morning in Richmond.
"At approximately 3 a.m., a random gunfire call was received from the 1500 block of Jefferson Davis Highway, followed closely by a call of a person down," a Richmond Police spokesperson wrote in an email. "Officers arrived and found two adult males in a parking lot of an apartment building, down and unresponsive. They had each suffered an apparent gunshot wound and were pronounced dead at the scene. The Medical Examiner will determine cause and manner of death."
