Three people have been killed and three others injured this week in six separate shootings across Richmond, making it the second-deadliest week this year.

In April, four men were killed within a week of one another. So far this year, 19 people have been slain in Richmond — the same number of deaths as this time last year, which ended with 57 slayings.

Police have not linked any of the shootings this week, which occurred all over the city from the East End to South Side, and one on the campus of Virginia Union University.

On Thursday afternoon, a man was found shot to death in the Swansboro neighborhood of South Richmond, Richmond police said.

Richmond police responded at 1:19 p.m. to the first block of West 27th Street, near Carter Jones Park, where they found the man with a gunshot wound. He died at the scene, police said.

Trequan R. Hardy, 25, of the first block of North Fourth Street, died Thursday after he was found shot on an East End sidewalk Wednesday night, according to Richmond police.

He was found unresponsive in the 2100 block of Fairfield Avenue around 8:17 p.m. Wednesday and was taken to a hospital, where he died Thursday morning.
