Richmond police are investigating an overnight murder.

It happened around 2:30 a.m. in the 1300 block of Jennie Scher Road – in the Fulton neighborhood – in the city’s east end.

A police spokesperson said Shamarl O. Whittaker, 22 years old was found dead in his apartment after he was shot. When police arrived, they found Whittaker suffering from gunshot wounds.

It’s still very early in the investigation.

Police currently are following some solid leads at this hour.

Investigators are still there looking for clues and talking to neighbors to get an idea if anyone saw or heard anything overnight.
