RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Three people are facing multiple charges after a deadly Shockoe Bottom shooting last month killed two and injured seven others.

At a March 7 conference, Richmond authorities said three people have been arrested in connection with the shooting in the Shockoe Bottom neighborhood on Feb. 21. Authorities previously said two were in custody and one was still at large on Saturday morning.

Officials said two of the men were arrested on Friday, March 6, and one person, 25-year-old Drevon Jackson-Brown of Henrico, was arrested "minutes" before the press conference. Jackson-Brown is the brother of one of the victims who was killed in the shooting, 42-year-old Dominic Antoine Jackson.

Jackson-Brown was charged with first-degree murder, malicious wounding and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Police said 26-year-old Carlos Johnson of Henrico is facing the same charges.

Twenty-two-year-old Shaquan Morris of Henrico was charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of the felony.

Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said an officer with the department first noticed a “commotion” in the 00 block of North 18th Street at around 2:47 a.m. on Feb. 21 while on patrol. When the officer exited the car, she found a woman dead at the scene and EMS crews arrived one minute later.

What started as a verbal confrontation turned deadly when it killed two people: 23-year-old Genesis Tamar Jones of Petersburg and 42-year-old Dominic Antoine Jackson of Henrico. Police said all nine victims are adults aged 23 to 42.

Richmond Mayor Danny Avula said the city is thankful to those who submitted videos to authorities.
