According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the suspected gunman, who lived in the same block as McKay, ran from the scene and was found in a field a short distance away. He had also been shot and died at the same hospital a few hours later.
Authorities believe the second man’s wound was self-inflicted. His identity was being withheld until his family’s notified.
Police don’t believe McKay provoked the attack. Authorities said the suspect had a history of neighborhood disputes.
