If you’ve been following the news, you already know about the high-profile shooting involving a Richmond Public Schools bus in September. Today’s Times-Dispatch reports on a recent spate of gun violence across the city:
In other recent violence in Richmond:
On Monday morning, Aarin A. Lambert, 17, was shot dead in the 900 block of West Ladies Mile Road. On Sunday, four blocks away from yesterday’s shooting, ice-cream vendor Dan Teodorescu, 31, of Romania was wounded at a parking lot on E.S.H. Greene Elementary School. A gunshot to his shoulder passed through his neck and vocal chords. He was listed in serious condition yesterday after surgery Sunday. On Friday, Devon Dionté Whiters, a 17-year-old George Wythe High School student, was shot outside an apartment in the Mosby Court public-housing complex. Rasin said he was in critical condition last night. On Sept. 23, two people were killed, including a bystander, after shots were fired at a car on Tifton Court. Ikia Goodman, 25, was fatally shot outside her apartment in the 1600 block of Tifton Court, where she lived with her mother and sister.
Tyeron Vondell Massenburg, 22, an occupant of the car that was being fired upon, was found wounded a few blocks away in the car in the 4100 block of Hull Street. He died later at VCU Medical Center.
Police have made an arrest in the Goodman and Massenburg slayings.
On Sept. 17, a city school bus carrying elementary students was struck by a bullet when it was caught in a gunfight near East Ladies Mile Road and Hazelhurst Avenue. “This is an unfortunate spike in crime that is not in line with the significant reduction in crime that we already have seen this year,” Richmond Police Chief Rodney D. Monroe said in a statement released last night.
