Police identified Shawn Jackson, 18, and his stepfather, Renzo Smith, 36, as the two killed in a shooting outside Huguenot High School’s graduation.
At a news conference, Interim Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards identified those slain as 18-year-old Shawn Jackson, and his stepfather, 36-year-old Renzo Smith. Jackson had just participated in Huguenot High School’s graduation ceremony at the Altria Theater, which concluded just after 5 p.m., Edwards said.
“He was not a convicted felon, he was not on our radar,” Edwards said of Pollard. “So that’s one of the reasons it’s very surprising this escalated the way it did.” The graduation ceremony was supposed to be a culminating moment of triumph after a tough year for students and staff at Huguenot High School, which saw several incidents of gun violence in the past 10 months. A student, Jaden Carter, was shot and died near the high school campus in January. Another student was shot in September while walking to a bus stop.
