DISCOVER RICHMOND

 

Richmond police are looking for a 21-year-old man in Sunday's shooting of a 10-year-old boy in the Whitcomb Court public-housing complex. Investigators said yesterday that they are seeking Daniel L. Gainyard of the 1300 block of Selma Lane in Richmond. They said Gainyard may have information about the shooting that wounded Trequan Bugg, a fourth-grader at Fairfield Elementary School. Trequan was shot in the head in the 2300 block of Ambrose Street about 12:35 a.m. as he arrived home with his mother from a visit to his grandmother's home.

 

A 20-minute delay in getting medical attention for an injured toddler wasn't enough to sustain a charge of felony child neglect, a Richmond juvenile court judge ruled yesterday. Myasia Deleo, 21, was freed from jail after a preliminary hearing in Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. Deleo's boyfriend, Garnell Stevenson III, 24, remains jailed on murder charges in the July 24 death of her 16-month-old son, Javon Deleo. Myasia Deleo had spent slightly more than two months in jail, since a few days before her son's funeral Aug. 2.

 

A Richmond man who was shot three times by a plainclothes city police officer working undercover in Chesterfield County was convicted yesterday of brandishing a firearm -- actually, a cigarette lighter that resembled a .25-caliber pistol.
