RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The Richmond Police Department has shared new details about the 2023 Huguenot High School graduation shooting, explaining why no one has been charged in the death of Lorenzo Smith, one of two men who were killed.

It’s been more than two years since the June 6, 2023, mass shooting that took place immediately after Huguenot High School’s graduation ceremony.
