RICHMOND, Virginia – A man is behind bars for a knife attack on an assisted living facility in downtown Richmond that killed one woman and injured another last Friday.

Officials said Quincy Rawlings stabbed two women to death just before 1 p.m. at the facility on the 100 block of Jefferson Street near the Richmond Police Headquarters on Grace Street

The incident prompted WTVR CBS 6 to take a close look at this facility.

According to the Virginia Department of Social Services website, there has been a pattern of inspection violations in recent years.

The most recent one happened in June and also involved a knife fight.

The report said that one resident somehow got a knife and stabbed another resident who then had to undergo surgery for his injuries.

Earlier this week, WTVR CBS 6 reached out to the facility and spoke briefly with Administrator Josephine Gatling.

Gatling said at the time that they were busy “dealing with the families”.

When WTVR asked CBS 6 if the staff would do anything to ensure the knife stabbing didn’t happen again, Gatling hung up.

No details about the circumstances of the stabbing last week were known until Thursday evening.

Rawlings is due to appear in court on November 15th.

ROCKINGHAM – Lady Raider’s volleyball team has stepped up its intensity in Thursday’s regular season finale, and head coach Ashleigh Larsen is hoping Richmond will carry it over to the conference tournament.

Returning to court for the first time in a week, the Lady Raiders hosted rival Scotland High School on Pink Night to promote breast cancer awareness.

Despite the last sets with tight scores, the Lady Raiders fell 3-0 in straight sets against Scotland. The results were 12-25, 17-25 and 27-29 in the Sandhills Athletic Conference matchup.

Larsen praised the fans and the student department for creating an atmosphere that kept the game competitive.

“The Bleacher Creatures are a dominant force when they’re here, and when our fans go into it a little more to step up the intensity, our girls feed on it,” explained Larsen.

“We made a few serving errors that cost us in the long run, but after the first set the girls did much better in the second and third sets,” she added. “There were a few small mistakes, but I’m proud of how the girls did it.”

Larsen also used three different lineups to start each set, which she believes has helped keep the Lady Raiders focused and battling a hard-hitting front line from Scotland (16-3, 9-3 SAC).

The first set was early in Scotland’s favor as the Lady Scots took the lead 15-6 before Larsen called for a time-out.

A block by junior middle hitter Catherine Dennis resulted in a point that kept Richmond at 22-9. Senior Saniah Durham added a kill and tip on the next volleys but two points in a row from Scotland ended the set.

Richmond managed to take a 10-6 lead to start the second set after trailing 6-3. A 7-0 run was started by a kill from Senior Allyiah Swiney and the second Christi Jacobs added a kill for another point.

Sophomore Katie Way tipped the ball into space to take a point lead, forcing Scotland on time out. Way took a kill the next volley and two mistakes by Scotland made it a four point advantage.

Scotland battled for 12 and 14 point ties and used an 11-5 run to close the second verse.

“I’ve told girls that if they play the way they do in training and relax, they are a much better volleyball team than our record shows,” said Larsen. “I think they get so tense and know what’s at stake that they forget the fun aspect of the sport.

“Tonight the girls were much more relaxed and we showed how well we can play, especially in the last two sets. I wish we could have ruled them out. “

7-5 behind the third, Richmond opened the first of two sizeable routes to keep Scotland on their heels. The first, a 5-0 run, featured an ace from Jenna Gardner sophomore and several mistakes from Lady Scots.

At 10 points, a 5-1 throw from the home team gave the Lady Raiders a 15-11 lead. Swiney hit the ground and Dennis blocked another shot for a point.

The two teams exchanged points and saw the scoreboard tied at 16 and 23 points. Another push from Swiney extended the match to 24 points, and a batting error from Scotland made it 25 points.

Two fine defensive games from Jacobs and Swiney kept the Lady Raiders alive, leading to a mistake by the Lady Scots that gave Richmond a 26-25 advantage. Unfortunately for Larsen’s team, Scotland ended the game 4-1.

“Tonight’s game was big for us before the conference tournament,” concluded Larsen. “We could possibly see Scotland again on the first lap, it’s in the air right now. This intensity could continue and I hope we can provide a surprise that will help our team pride. “

Richmond (4-15, 3-9 SAC) will know their SAC tournament pairing on Friday after a coaching meeting. At the time of writing, the Lady Raiders are level with Southern Lee High School in fifth place.

If the big red letters on the roof don’t make it clear, there’s a new name in town running the steel operations at the former Williams Bridge Co. complex in South Richmond.

With a new neighborhood name in tow, the city is taking steps to begin designing spaces for potential redevelopment of much of Arthur Ashe Boulevard.

The co-founder and longtime head of the now-defunct legal giant LeClairRyan in Richmond denies allegations that he conspired to profit from it and was responsible for the collapse of his law firm of the same name.

Owner Ward Tefft plans to sell the Carytown bookstore to Berkley and Chris McDaniel, which is expected to close on Friday. WonTon, the store’s cat mascot, will stay.

GreenCity’s approval comes less than a year since county officials and developers announced the $ 2.3 billion plan last December – a striking contrast to the year-long, ultimately unsuccessful, Navy Hill Richmond proposal that turned out to be also focused on a new arena for the region.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – The staff shortage has resulted in significant delays in the emergency number for the Richmond Ambulance Authority. Now even the mayor weighs up and calls it unacceptable.

If you call, the Richmond Ambulance Authority will answer and rush to the scene immediately. It should go relatively quickly.

“I recently read about someone who has an injury and I don’t think I heard from the Richmond Ambulance Authority in over an hour. That’s not acceptable at the end of the day. Unacceptable, ”said Mayor Levar Stoney.

He says he reached out to the agency to find out how to deal with slow response times.

“Our crews work hard every day, some of them answer up to 14, 15 calls in a shift for duty,” said Captain Chad Greedan of the agency.

The ambulance authority is about 50% less busy when it comes to the staff currently on the job. In recent years there has been a decline in the number of employees in the rescue service. The pandemic didn’t make it any better.

“Our call demand has not decreased much. It has actually increased since the pandemic started, “Greedan said.

Now the service is increasing wages for the workers and recruiting heavily. They are looking for people to join them even if you have absolutely no experience.

“Our training courses all take place in-house. You will work under our Field Training Officers in the field and our clinical department here at headquarters. We will train you to become an EMT, where you will gain both hands-on and hands-on experience, ”he said.

It’s about meeting a critical need that comes with a reward.

“Just the satisfaction of being able to help people on a daily basis,” added Geedan.

A new wave of employees has just started with the department. Some of them will take to the streets next week.

Further information on applying as an EMT can be found here.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers is seeking help locating the person or individuals responsible for the stabbing and murder of a 63-year-old man.

At around 8:00 a.m. on September 21, the Richmond Police responded to a person down on Block 800 at Lodge St.

There was no hesitation from Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard when Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal, and now there is none.

The Brooklyn native is Willard’s starting point guardian, the trainer said. That was not the case in Syracuse during Richmond’s one frustrating year with the Orange.

“I feel like I can be myself, play my game freely and make the decisions [on the court]”Said Richmond on Thursday after training in South Orange, NJ. “I felt like it wouldn’t make sense to stay in the end because I wasn’t really playing [as much as I wanted].

“I had the feeling that I could really fit in [at Seton Hall]. “

Seton Hall added two more intriguing transfers – South Florida physical striker Alexis Yenta and US sniper guard Jamir Harris – as well as a healthy Bryce Aiken back. But Richmond, a 6-foot-6 leader, has the potential to ensure the Pirates return to the NCAA tournament after falling painfully short last March and since then Tri-Big East Player of the Year, Sandro Mamukelashvili lost to the NBA.

Kevin Willardfor the NY POST

The slick first sophomore year will fill a gaping hole in the spot, a spot that ruined a once promising season for Seton Hall. Aiken’s injury-stricken campaign (he appeared in just 14 games) forced Shavar Reynolds into the job. Willard praised the former walk-on’s performance in a position he was unsuitable for, but it severely limited Seton Hall. That doesn’t seem to be a problem this year as Richmond, a former four-star Top 100 recruit, is in on it.

“I’m really excited to have a lead guard who can find me a couple of open shots this year. It’s changing a lot, ”said senior star Jared Rhoden. “It creates a lot easier things in the transition and the offensive side of the game.”

In his one year at Syracuse, Richmond averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals in 21.0 minutes per game. He got off the bank and helped the oranges hit sweet 16. But playing behind Joseph Girard III left a sour taste in his mouth, and he wanted more. At Seton Hall, he will have the chance to continue the pirates’ recent tradition of Brooklyn guards reaching the NCAA tournament.

Richmond knows two of them, Isaiah Whitehead and Kadeen Carrington, who raved about their time at school in New Jersey. Now it’s his turn.

“I feel like I belong because all the guys out of town were successful here, so I didn’t see how I wasn’t going to be successful,” said Richmond. “It’s up to me to take the chance.”

However, if these boroughs were left largely intact, it would have cascading effects on adjacent boroughs.

Both mappers would add several Chesapeake wards from District 4 to bring District 3 to the required population. The Republican cartographer would add a few districts of Henrico to restore the required population to the 4th district. The Democratic cartographer would add additional Chesterfield County residents to the 4th district.

The current 5th District stretches south from Fauquier County through Charlottesville and Albemarle Counties to Danville and the North Carolina Line.

The new 5th District proposed by the GOP would not extend to the outskirts of Northern Virginia. In addition to West Chesterfield and part of Henrico, it would include Goochland, Amelia, and Fluvanna counties in the Greater Richmond area, as well as a variety of Southside locations.

The proposed 6th ward of the GOP, currently represented by Republican Ben Cline, would add Charlottesville and Albemarle, both of which are currently in the 5th ward.

Del. Marcus Simon, D-Fairfax, questioned the GOP mapmaker’s cartography.

“If you take a bit of Henrico County and put it all in Southside, it feels like a Gerrymander,” because there are “cracking” suburbs that have turned blue, he said.
