Police Search for Lexus After Richmond Boy, 16, Killed

Police are investigating a fatal shooting that killed a  16-year-old boy in Richmond on Tuesday night.

Officers responded to alerts of a shooting through the city's  ShotSpotter activation system in the 4000 block of Flemming Avenue around  10:30 p.m., Richmond Police Sgt. Nicole Abetkov said.

Police also received a 911 call about a fight and possibly one  shot fired at that same location, she said.

Arriving officers found the 16-year-old boy suffering from a  gunshot wound and he was later pronounced dead at the scene, Abetkov said.

Additional units from the San Pablo and El Cerrito police  departments were called due to a large crowd at the scene, according to  Abetkov.

No arrests have been made but investigators are looking for a 1999  Lexus four-door sedan with California license plate 5RLD637, she said.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact  Richmond police at (510) 233-1214.
