RICHMOND, Va. — A violent Labor Day weekend saw three people murdered in three days in Richmond.
The most recent homicide investigation was on the 1500 block of Treehaven Drive late Sunday night.
Crime Insider sources tell Jon Burkett that a man was shot execution-style in a parking lot.
“That’s pure evil, Jon, when someone does something like that.”
Cruz Sherman, a city chaplain, says consoling victims’ families is one of the most difficult parts of the job.
“Looking at this uptick, it appears that people are no longer patient with each other. They’re ‘on sight’ with each other that’s what they say on social media,” Sherman said. “Meaning when I see you, I’m going to get you. We don’t have a regard for life. It’s disheartening how someone can not appreciate the value of somebody’s life.”
