(WTVR) A streak of violence in Richmond continues as police are investigating three homicides that happened this week alone.
A man became the victim of a violent homicide after he was beaten with a tool on Sunday. According to Crime Insider Sources, the weapon was likely a hammer.
56-year-old Eddie Wells was working on the house across the street. Detectives believe between 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon and 9 a.m. Sunday morning, someone came into the home and attacked Wells with a hammer.
“We are here trying to get into contact with the homeowner about doing the forensic cleaning for the homicide,” said David Woods. The former Richmond Police officer has seen his fair share of crime scenes and now runs his own forensic cleaning business.
Sadly, business is booming.
“Homicides, suicides, unattended deaths and virus cleaning services,” Woods said, naming his specialties.
