CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Two VDOT contractors have died after a shooting in Chesterfield County Friday morning, according to the Virginia State Police.
Troopers were called to a VDOT equipment yard along Route 1, near the entrance ramps to Route 288, just before 9:30 a.m.
Friday morning, Virginia State Police spokesperson Sgt. Jessica Shehan confirmed one man died and another had serious, life-threatening injuries.
Shehan clarified that the men were not employed by VDOT but were working for a company contracted by VDOT.
The second contractor died from his injuries Friday afternoon, state police confirmed.
The contractors have been identified as Rai’Shon Eugene Delarge, 30, and Philip Avery Wilson, 34, both of Emporia, VSP said.
State police believe the shooting is domestic-related.
"The shooter knew at least one of the victims," Shehan said.
The suspect has not been apprehended and Virginia State Police have not released the suspect's name. A description was not available.
Will Zerull, who works nearby, watched first responders rush to the scene.
"Then we see the ambulance with a police escort leave right away. We knew it was bad," Zerull said.
The ramp from Route 288 north to Route 1 north and the ramp from Route 288 south to Route 1 South were closed for the investigation, but have since reopened.
Virginia State Police are the lead agency in the investigation.
