Richmond police report that an arrest has been made in yesterday’s deadly shooting at Third Avenue and Brookland Park Boulevard:
Investigators arrested David M. Ellis, 18, of the 3000 block of Garland Avenue, within hours after finding Kelvin R. Green, 38, of Highland Springs, dead of a gunshot wound in the 2900 block of Third Avenue at 3:05 p.m. yesterday. Ellis has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and possession with the intent to distribute drugs in connection with the homicide. He is being held without bond.
The initial investigation indicates the motive appears to be drug-related; however, the investigation is ongoing.
“The Richmond Police Department pulled all available assets to focus on this murder investigation yesterday. We used our resources in the Narcotics Units, ATF, VCIT as well as the significant assistance we received from the Highland Park community to produce this quick arrest,” Major John Venuti said.
“We will continue to aggressively investigate and combat these random acts of violence that are associated with the drug trade.”
