RICHMOND, Va. -- An investigation is underway after police found a man shot to death in the yard of a home in a Southside neighborhood Saturday afternoon.

Richmond Police were called to the 1400 block of Drewry Street for the report of a person shot just after 3 p.m.

The victim is a 55-year-old man, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
