Richmond police have arrested dozens based on list of potential
‘shooters’
Representatives of the Richmond Police Department said last week that
they’ve been compiling a list of people suspected of being
“shooters.” Those on the list primarily reside in Richmond’s public
housing neighborhoods, according to department representatives, who
said RPD created the list in an attempt to combat gun violence in the
city.
Approximately 100 individuals are on the list, according to Maj.
Major Ronnie Armstead. Armstead led the department’s efforts in
compiling the list, which includes individuals who don’t have a
criminal record. In addition to focusing on people who have shot
others previously, RPD also added victims of gun violence and people
who “will shoot other people” to the list.
“They came up with a list of individuals that are known to be
shooters. Your violent people that are known to be shooters, even if
they didn't have a record, but they're known to be a shooter,” said
Armstead, who presented information about the project to the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s Board of Commissioners on
Wednesday.
