Three men from Henrico County have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a deadly mass shooting in Shockoe Bottom two weeks ago, Richmond Police announced during a news conference on Saturday.

Richmond Mayor Danny Avula and Police Chief Rick Edwards said the shooting was a preventable tragedy fueled by alcohol and easy access to guns.

The three men charged are: Drevon Jackson-Brown, 25; Carlos Johnson Jr., 26; and Shaquan Morris, 22.

The police chief confirmed Jackson-Brown is the brother of Dominic Jackson, who was killed in the shooting.

Officials also revealed that Jackson-Brown and Johnson, Jr. were two of the nine people wounded in the shooting.
