In anticipation of an escalating territorial conflict, the Richmond Police Department has extra officers on the street today, with several two-man cars patrolling the city’s south side.
The move comes a day after a 7-year-old boy was hit in a drive-by shooting and on the same day as the funeral of Ramona Price, 44, who was shot on Chanslor Avenue last week, also in a drive-by. The police fear emotions after the two events could fuel a larger conflict, said Lt. Mark Gagan.
“There’s going to be a very passionate response,” Gagan said.
Gagan did not directly associate the two shootings, but said there is a specific battle unfolding.
“It looks like Fifth and Chanslor is fighting with 20th and Chanslor,” he said.
The boy, who suffered a broken thigh, was shot on the 400 block of South 38th Street. He is in stable condition.
