Richmond police last night were investigating a shooting in the East End and the discovery of a body in South Richmond.
Authorities say the two cases appear unrelated.
Officers were summoned about 7:15 p.m. to the 1400 block of Minefee Street in the Oak Grove Bellemeade area of South Richmond and found a body behind a vacant house, police spokesman James Mercante said.
Police believe the victim was shot. They described him as a man about 30 to 40 years old.
Two men at the scene who identified themselves as Phabien Bennett and Marquise Jeffries said that two children around age 8 found the body.
Bennett said the frightened children approached him and Jeffries and led them to the body.
Police were summoned to the second shooting shortly after 8 p.m. A male was shot in the abdomen in the 2300 block of Selden Street in the Fairfield Court public housing complex, police said.
The male victim was taken to VCU Medical Center with injuries that initially did not appear lifethreatening.
