Two men died today after related shootings that police said stemmed from a neighborhood dispute in South Richmond.
Police found Sean McKay, 28, of the 100 block of Chuckatuck Avenue, wounded by a gunshot shortly after 3:20 p.m near the intersection of Chuckatuck and Bartee Road. He was taken to VCU Medical Center, where he died.
The suspected gunman, who lived in the same block on Chuckatuck, left the scene on foot and was found in a field a short distance away near where Old Midlothian Turnpike dead ends, police said. He also had been shot, and died at VCU Medical Center a few hours later.
Authorities believe the second man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound but declined to release his name pending notification of his family.
Police said they believe that McKay had not provoked the attack. Authorities said the suspect had a history of disputes with residents in the neighborhood.
