RICHMOND - Police today are investigating four separate shootings that resulted in two people dead and three more injured. Police have not said whether the shootings, which occurred within two hours each other on Wednesday night, are related.
Police say the first shooting occurred just before 7:30 p.m. in a parking lot at South 47th Street and Carlson Boulevard, where a 32-year-old man was shot once in the back. He is listed in critical condition at John Muir Hospital this morning.
About a half-hour later, a 22-year-old man sitting his car was fired upon multiple times by two suspects on the 100 block of 23rd Street. The victim was hit once in the upper body and is also listed in critical condition at an area hospital.
A 31-year-old mother was shot and killed in view of her 5-year-old child at around 8:30 p.m. at Hershey Court and South 47th Street. Police say Shemerly Brokaw's car was fired upon by two suspects shortly after her husband exited the car to look for a friend they were to meet in the area.
Her identity had not been released this morning. Police noted that her husband is not a suspect in the homicide.
The second fatality of the night came at around 9:10 p.m. on the 500 block of 37th Street. Police say 61-year-old Amos Gallegos was killed and an 18-year-old man was injured after a man standing on the street fired at an assault rifle at a passing vehicle. The 18-year-old driver was shot in the bicep.
Police say Gallegos was hit by a stray bullet approximately 100 feet away. The man was in a car with his son and on his way to get dinner, police say.
Earlier in the day, police responded to two shootings, one in which 19-year-old Romell Simmons was killed.
All of the victims killed were Richmond residents.
