Timothy Richardson Family

Virginia State Police say a passenger inside a car was killed when he was struck by gunfire from a passing car on Interstate 64 near downtown Richmond.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports the driver of a Kia sedan reported being in the left lane early Monday when someone in a sedan in the center or right lane began shooting.

The driver of the Kia exited the interstate and stopped on East Broad Street. According to state police, 23-year-old Timothy A.L.B. Richardson of Richmond was struck by gunfire in the front seat and taken a local hospital, where he died.

The Richardson family hopes each of the other victims’ families has the same support they have, dismissing what they call the “ridiculousness” of all the violence.
