CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- Police have arrested three men who are accused of killing a man inside his home during a January home invasion in Chesterfield County.

After receiving the money, the suspects shot 51-year-old David W. Crostic and fled the scene.

At about 1:30 p.m., officers responded to a report that a man had been shot during a robbery at the residence.

Crostic, who lived at the residence, died at the hospital.

With assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, police arrested three suspects in relation to the homicide on August 27.

Davis, of Richmond, is being held at Riverside Regional Jail without bond.
