NORFOLK, Va. — A 30-year-old man is dead and another man is in custody following a shooting at an auto mechanic business in Suffolk, the Suffolk Police Department said.
Just after 10:30 a.m. Saturday, the Suffolk 911 Center got a call about a shooting at the Auto Care Center in the 800 block of West Constance Road, SPD said.
Once there, officers found Rakheem Scott, 30, who had been shot multiple times.
According to Suffolk Police, Scott's vehicle was at the auto shop to have his car fixed by a person who rented space at the shop, and there was an argument about the amount of time it was taking to fix his car.
Police said that situation was defused by a third party, but Scott got into another altercation leading to gunfire.
Suffolk Fire and EMS treated Scott on the scene and took him to a hospital. SPD said he later died at the hospital.
The other person involved, 43-year-old Ronald Richardson, was taken to police headquarters to be interviewed. He's been charged with Second Degree Murder and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony.
Initial investigations revealed that the situation started as a disagreement between a mechanic and a customer and evolved from there, SPD said.
