A 47‑year‑old Alphonso Satchell of Richmond was shot and killed early Saturday morning on the 3400 block of Hull Street, according to Richmond Police and emergency communications logs. Officers were dispatched at approximately 2:13 a.m. after reports of gunfire near the Jack Market & Deli convenience store.
When officers arrived, they found Satchell lying on the ground with an apparent gunshot wound. Police confirmed he was pronounced dead at the scene, and video from the area showed crime scene tape and numerous evidence markers placed along the sidewalk and roadway.
Shortly after the shooting, a second adult male arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound. Richmond Police later confirmed that his injuries were not believed to be life‑threatening, and investigators determined that both incidents were connected.
Detectives said the shooting occurred near E. 34th Street and Hull Street, an area where multiple recent shootings have been reported. Crime Insider sources noted that forensic teams collected so much evidence that investigators briefly ran short of evidence placards due to the volume of shell casings.
Police stated that the killing marked the third homicide and fifth shooting in three days on Richmond’s Southside, underscoring a surge in violent incidents under investigation by Major Crimes detectives. The Medical Examiner will determine Satchell’s official cause and manner of death.
Richmond Police continue to investigate and have not released suspect information. Anyone with information is urged to contact Major Crimes Detective B. Neifeld at 804‑646‑3246 or Crime Stoppers at 804‑780‑1000, with anonymous tips accepted through the P3 app.
