What happened in Richmond: A fatal stabbing, firearms and drug busts and 14 stolen cars

Richmond police logged 14 stolen vehicles last week, up from 11 the previous week, as vehicle theft and burglary remained among the most common calls for service. Officers also investigated a fatal stabbing on Wood Place that led to a murder charge, made a multi-charge firearms and narcotics arrest on the 600 block of 2nd Street, and responded to an early-Sunday armed robbery on Esmond Avenue that combined burglary, domestic violence, criminal threats and assault-with-a-deadly-weapon charges.
