Colonial Heights police investigating Tuesday evening shooting

COLONIAL HEIGHTS – Police are searching for a Dinwiddie County man who they say shot a woman in the leg Tuesday night.

Arrest warrants have been filed for Nicholas Davis, 28, following the shooting on the boulevard near Richmond Avenue, said police Sgt. Desiree McCurry said in an email. He faces charges of intentional wounding and several weapons charges, including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The unidentified 38-year-old woman and the suspect were walking through Colonial Heights when an argument broke out. After the vehicle stopped, McCurry said, Davis allegedly got out, pulled out his handgun and shot the woman in the leg.

McCurry said Davis took the victim to Bon Secours Colonial Heights Urgent Care about two miles away, but fled when medical personnel called police. A surveillance camera captured images of him that authorities released to the public.
