Richmond police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred at a gas station Tuesday that claimed the life of 21-year-old Derrick McDougal.
Officers responded to the area of 23rd Street and Barrett Avenue following a Shotspotter gunshot detection activation at about 8:44 p.m., Richmond police Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy said. A 911 call also came in informing police there was a person shot in the parking lot of a gas station.
McDougal was found suffering from multiple wounds at the gas station at 2230 Barrett Ave., Pomeroy said.
