Family wants answers after 18-year-old killed in West End shooting
The family of an 18-year-old man shot and killed at a Henrico County apartment complex last Sunday night is seeking answers about the investigation days after his death.
William Scott Jr. was killed in a double shooting at the Maple Run Apartments in Henrico's West End on Feb. 15. His friend was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Scott left with a friend Sunday afternoon at 3:20 p.m.
"He was riding with a friend that went by to see a friend, a girl. He was just along for the ride," a family member said.
Family members have questions about that relationship and how it caused both Scott and his friend to get shot. They want to know who was the person pulling the trigger, why, and how or if he knew the female the boys were visiting.
Scott graduated from Varina High School last June. He was taking IT courses at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, pursuing a career in that field. Family members said he was driven, working to achieve goals and had no time for foolishness on the streets.
