An argument in a Richmond Rite Aid parking lot ended in gunfire and a fatality on October 3, 2013. Eighteen-year-old Marquis J. Richardson of Chester was seated in a car near Broad and Belvidere streets when a verbal dispute with 28-year-old Quintin Washington escalated. Richmond Police responding around 7:30 p.m. found Richardson with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified Quintin Washington as the suspect. He was arrested and initially charged with voluntary manslaughter and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. The case went to a jury in the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond, which convicted Washington of second-degree murder and the firearm charge and imposed a total sentence of twenty-one years.

If anyone witnessed the argument or the shooting that night, or has information about what led up to the confrontation, please come forward.
