A 1-year-old girl was killed and a 20-year-old man was injured Tuesday morning in a shooting in a neighborhood just west of the Richmond Henrico Turnpike.

Henrico County police responded at 2:32 a.m. to a shooting in the 500 block of Fayette Avenue. Both victims were taken to the hospital with life-threatening wounds, and the child eventually died of her injuries, police said.

Dietrich Wingfield, 39, a neighbor, said he was in bed watching a movie when he heard an initial burst of three or four gunshots. He dove to the floor. Then he heard several additional gunshots.

“After that I heard the mother coming out of the house saying, ‘Please no more, I need help. My daughter was shot,’” Wingfield said.

Later, the 1-year-old was brought out of the house with a towel placed on her wound and was put in an ambulance, Wingfield said.

Darrell Stinney, 23, who also lives on Fayette Avenue, said he heard about 10 gunshots early Tuesday morning. After that, Stinney said, a woman came out of the house “screaming, ‘My baby! My baby! They shot my baby!’”
