The Richmond Police Department is searching for a man, who is considered armed and dangerous, after he allegedly shot a woman on Thursday night and fled the scene.
The department detailed that police responded to a shots fired call at around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday on Mallory Court. Upon arrival, police found one woman with injuries from a single gunshot wound.
Officials added witnesses explained to police that a man, identified in a post from the department as 29-year-old Travon Hearst, was visiting a woman at her home when a confrontation allegedly ensued followed by a physical altercation.
Hearst allegedly pushed the woman to the ground and fired a single shot at her, which the department reported "grazed the side of her head." He then reportedly fled the scene.
The woman was taken to an area hospital for treatment while Hearst is reportedly still on the run and considered "armed and dangerous."
