Police in Virginia have identified a 19-year-old they say shot and killed a Huguenot High School graduate and his father outside Altria Theater after a graduation ceremony.
Amari Ty-Jon Pollard, of Henrico, is facing second-degree murder with more potential charges. He is being held without bond.
Pollard was arraigned in court Wednesday morning and will have a status hearing on June 21 at 9 a.m.
The two victims were identified as 18-year-old Shawn Jackson and 36-year-old Renzo Smith.
In a press conference Tuesday night, Acting Police Chief Rick Edwards said five other victims sustained gunshot wounds. One of those victims, a 31-year-old, has life-threatening injuries.
Edwards also confirmed four other males, ages 14, 42, 55 and 58, were injured but are expected to be okay.
Six others sustained injuries unrelated to the gunfire. Three reported needing to be transported to the hospital for anxiety, two were injured from falls, and a 9-year-old was hit by a car as they were running away from the area. That child is also expected to be okay.
Police believe Pollard knew at least one of the victims.
Richmond Public Schools announced schools will be closed Wednesday, and the remaining graduations have been postponed.
