HANOVER COUNTY, Va. β Virginia State Police identified the man killed in an Interstate 295 shooting and crash as Hunter S. Davis, 27, of Henrico County, Virginia.
It is not yet clear if Davis died as a result of the shooting or the crash or a combination of both.
The incident began around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when police responded to a single vehicle crash in the southbound lanes of I-295 just north of the Pole Green Road exit in Hanover County.
A pickup truck ran off the road, crashed and caught fire.
Police determined that before the crash, someone in another vehicle was firing shots at the pickup truck.
Davis was pronounced dead at the scene.
Because the shooting occurred during rush hour, police believe there may have been witnesses who saw the incident. They are asking anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or has dash cam footage to contact them. You can reach Virginia State Police by dialing #77 on their cell phone or by contacting the Virginia State Police Richmond division in Hanover County.
Police shut down lanes of Interstate 295 Tuesday evening to investigate.
Those lanes reopened at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
