RICHMOND, Va. -- A teenager has been arrested in a shooting that left a man dead and another critically injured early Sunday morning along West Broad Street in downtown Richmond, Virginia.
Richmond Police were called to the 300 block of West Broad Street just after 3:20 a.m. for a report of a person shot.
When officers arrived, they found 31-year-old Dwight Wright, of Richmond, unresponsive on a sidewalk. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers said another man with apparent gunshot wounds was driven to an area hospital in a personal vehicle.
"Detectives determined that he was also involved in the shooting on West Broad Street that followed an altercation," a police department spokesperson said.
Officials said 18-year-old Aaron Marcus, of Richmond, was arrested Tuesday and was charged with malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. However, police said additional charges are pending.
Both Richmond and VCU Police were investigating the deadly shooting, which prompted a campus alert, due to the crime's proximity to the university's Monroe Park campus.
