Two persons of interest in a homicide in Richmond’s Fan District have been arrested on several charges, including robbery, and police say more charges are pending.

Nicole P. Andrews, 41, of the 8200 block of Elswick Drive in Henrico County, and Donnell A. Young, 38, of the 3400 block of Maury Street, were arrested Thursday. Both face charges of possession of stolen property, conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery.

On May 7, around 11:23 a.m., officers were called to a home in the 2000 block of Stuart Avenue for a welfare check. Inside, they found Charles Purnell Smith IV, 48, dead.

Sharp-force injuries to his neck and abdomen were the cause of death, according to the state medical examiner’s office.

Three days after Smith’s death, police released photos of a man and woman, whom they called persons of interest in the case, from surveillance footage at a business in the 2400 block of Sheila Lane off Forest Hill Avenue, where there is a shopping center that contains a Walmart, where the two were seen leaving.

Police said they received multiple tips after releasing the footage, aiding in the capture of the pair.
