RICHMOND, Va. — A man was shot multiple times in Fairfield Court early Monday morning, according to Richmond Police.
Officers found a man with gunshot wounds at the 2500 block of Rosetta Street around 3:45 a.m. He was taken to a hospital and is expected to recover.
CBS 6 was on the scene just after 4 a.m. as police canvassed the neighborhood near the intersection of Phaup and Rosetta Streets.
Around 7:30 a.m. CBS 6 crews saw detectives placing crime scene markers as they continued to look for evidence of what led to the violence in this community.
This reported shooting comes less than a week after Richmond kicked off its annual Operation Safe Summer, which brings together multiple law enforcement agencies to target areas experiencing high rates of violence during the summer months.
Friday, Richmond Police told CBS 6 they'd already seen success in neighborhoods like Fairfield, where officers have executed at least 15 search warrants.
But Monday morning, neighbors woke up to another reminder of the trend the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says tends to rise when the weather heats up.
If you have any information about this reported shooting that could help police, contact Major Crimes Detective M. Godwin at (804) 646-5533 or Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.
