A 19-year-old male has been placed under arrest for sh00ting. He could be charged with two counts of second-degree murder and other crimes. Wednesday morning, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Collette McEachin, the suspect will be arraigned.

The police believe that the suspect knew one of the victims. According to Richmond Public Schools, the incident occurred in Monroe Park near the theatre following Huguenot High School’s commencement ceremony.

This week, the district has cancelled all high school commencements. RPS will shortly announce a new starting ceremony date. Tomorrow, June 7, all RPS schools will be closed out of “excessive caution.”
