A 29-year-old man was killed in Richmond in the first of two shootings that hit the city Tuesday, police said.

Officers responded to the parking lot of an apartment complex on the 600 block of Berk Avenue at 4:45 p.m. after receiving a call of a shooting, said Sgt. Nicole Abetkov, a police spokeswoman.

Fontino Hardy Jr., a 29-year-old Vallejo resident, was found suffering from gunshot wounds and taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead, she said.

Police got a call that there was a second victim in the shooting, and shortly afterward an officer was flagged down by a car attempting to take the second victim to the hospital, according to Abetkov.

That victim, a 17-year-old boy, had been shot once and was taken by helicopter to a hospital, she said. He is expected to recover.

Then, around 6:30 p.m., police got a call of a second shooting at an apartment complex at Pullman Avenue and Carlson Boulevard. A short time after officers arrived, they learned that three male gunshot victims had arrived at a nearby hospital, Abetkov said. All three were treated and were in stable condition, she said.

It’s unknown if the shootings were linked, Abetkov said. Police are looking for suspects, and anyone with information can call the police anonymous tip line at (510) 232-8477.
