    According to the victim’s family spokesperson, Alicia Raisin, the victim is 10 year-old Trequan Bugg. He is in I.C.U. at VCU Medical Center with a bullet wound to the head. Raisin says doctors told the family that the bullet can not be removed, but he is expected to be all right.

    Here’s what the family told Raisin about the incident: Shortly after midnight, Trequan, his mother, his 9 year-old brother and 12 year-old sister were in their car and had just arrived home, when they heard bullets flying. Trequan’s mother made the children lie down. When the shooting was over, all the children got up, except for Trequan.

    Trequan is a 4th grader at Fairfield Elementary and loves playing football, and play station.
