Four charged with rioting overnight as windows were broken and properties tagged in Richmond
Four charged with rioting overnight as windows were broken and properties tagged in Richmond
From staff reports 1 hr ago
Four people were charged with rioting after windows were broken and property was defaced in several neighborhoods overnight in Richmond, the police said Wednesday morning.
The police said they detained several individuals about 11:50 p.m. and that they charged the four suspects after consulting with the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office. The authorities also said that a metal crowbar and a hammer "were seized from the individuals."
Among the properties that were damaged as protesters marched through parts of the city were the John Marshall Courts Building downtown, the SunTrust Center, the Bank of America center, and the James Center and Two James Center in Shockoe Slip.

All court cases were delayed Wednesday, including a sentencing hearing for a man convicted of the second degree murder of Markiya Dickson, the 9-year-old killed while playing in Carter Jones Park.
“Talk about justice delayed,” McEachin said on the steps of the courthouse Wednesday morning. “Markiya Dickson’s parents aren’t getting justice today. Anyone seeking eviction assistance from the Legal Aid attorney on the second floor isn’t getting the help they need today.”
