RICHMOND, Va. — Adam Turck has died after he was mortally wounded when he stopped to help a stranger involved in a domestic dispute in Richmond on Saturday morning, according to Richmond Police.
Turck was shot by one of the people involved in the dispute, who police have now identified as 19-year-old Destin Grady. Grady later shot himself, and has now also succumbed to his injuries.
According to RPD, Grady was in a confrontation with a known adult female on the sidewalk in front of an apartment building near the 2000 block of East Grace Street in Shockoe Bottom. This argument generated 911 calls for a violent domestic situation. Turck was passing the confrontation while walking his dog and attempted to intervene. Grady then pulled a gun from a backpack, shot Turck, and then himself.
Anyone with further information is asked to call Major Crimes Detective J. Higgins (804) 646-7570 or contact Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000. The P3 Tips Crime Stoppers app for smartphones also may be used. All Crime Stoppers reporting methods are anonymous.
