(RICHMOND, Va.) WRVA -- The Richmond Police Department is investigating a shooting incident in Whitcomb Court in which a two-year-old female was wounded.
At approximately 2:11 a.m. on Wednesday, RPD officers were called to the 2300 block of Ambrose Street for a report of a person shot. When they arrived, they located the child inside an apartment with a gunshot wound to her arm.
While it is still early in the investigation, Major Crimes Division detectives have determined the child was outside the building with a family member when the shooting occurred and she was carried inside as police were called. They do not believe she was the intended target.
Police are looking for a four-door, dark-colored Nissan sedan, possibly a Maxima, that was seen leaving the area after the shooting.
Detectives are asking anyone who may have information to share anonymously to call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or by using the P3 smartphone app.
