On the morning of May 28, 2003, 23-year-old Chesterfield County Police Officer Ryan Eugene Cappelletty responded with a fellow officer to reports of gunshots on South Ridge Drive in Midlothian, Virginia. The officers encountered a man armed with a gun in a front lawn; the man opened fire and an exchange of gunfire followed. Both Officer Cappelletty and the suspect were critically wounded in the exchange.

Officer Cappelletty was taken to CJW Medical Center, where he died of his wounds. The suspect also died at the scene, so there were no arrests. Cappelletty had been a recent police academy graduate and was survived by his wife Rachel, his parents, and a sister.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who remember that morning and could add details about the events on South Ridge Drive?
