Two people who were killed Tuesday during a shooting outside a high school graduation ceremony in Richmond, Virginia have been identified.

The victims are Shawn Jackson, 18, and his 36-year-old stepfather Renzo Smith of Richmond, Acting Chief of Police Rick Edwards shared in a news conference on Wednesday.

The graduation ceremony Tuesday at the Altria Theater, located in Monroe Park on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, was abruptly canceled after shots rang out shortly after 5 p.m., Edwards said.

He also shared that off-duty officers working security inside the ceremony immediately ran to the scene and found the shooting victims.

According to police, two were killed and five others were wounded by gunshots.

Five males, ages 14, 31, 32, 55 and 58, had injuries that were not considered life-threatening, police said.

Other injuries were reported during the incident.

A number of people were treated for different injuries, including two people from falls, a 9-year-old girl who was hit by a car during the shooting, and three people who were treated for anxiety, Edwards said. The girl was treated at the scene before being taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, Edwards said.

No police were injured or fired their weapons during the incident, Edward said.

The shooter ran from the scene but later surrendered peacefully when officers caught up with him.

Amari Pollard, 19, of Henrico County, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the shootings, Edwards said. He was arraigned on Wednesday morning and is being held without bond in the Richmond City jail, according to online records.

Edwards said that Pollard and Jackson knew each other and had “an ongoing dispute.” 

CBS News reports that Jackson was set to graduate from Huguenot High School on Tuesday.

A Richmond Public Schools spokesperson said the graduation ceremony would be rescheduled.

“This incident occurred toward the end of the Huguenot High School graduation and we have canceled the Thomas Jefferson High School graduation scheduled for later tonight. It will be rescheduled soon,” the spokesperson said. Superintendent of Richmond Public Schools Jason Kamras said at the Wednesday news conference, “I can’t shake the image of him receiving CPR… still in his graduation gown.”

U.S. Rep. Jennifer McClellan, who represents Virginia’s fourth congressional district, which includes Richmond, said in a statement, “Tonight’s celebration turned into every parent’s worst nightmare. As the mother of two school-aged children, I cannot fathom the profound heartbreak, sense of loss and trauma these families are experiencing.”

“The gun violence epidemic is a public health crisis that we must address. We cannot continue to live in fear,” McClellan added.
