HENRICO, Va. --  Dozens of law enforcement officers shut down Willis Lane, just off Dumbarton Road, on Friday morning.

The roadway was blocked at Dumbarton as officers, in tactical gear and many carrying long gun weapons, surrounded the home.  A Wells Fargo bank in the 5600 block of Brook Road, near the shuttered Martin's, was robbed early Friday, Henrico Police confirmed.

The investigation led officers to Willis Lane and then a service dog tracked directly to the home.

Bank robbery leads to Lakeside home

Police arrested two individuals, according to Crime Insider sources. Lt. Chris Garrett could not confirm arrests at this time.

The suspects left the bank with a bag full of cash. They traveled down Brook Run Drive, often used as a short between the shopping center and Lakeside residents.

No one was harmed during the bank robbery or follow-up investigation.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va -- Walk inside one of Michelle Leshok’s stores and you will find it hard not to smile. The Lazy Daisy doubles as a Headquarters of Happiness.

"Customers will tell you when you walk into the Lazy Daisy you feel this energy. And it’s true," she said.

Never did the career bookkeeper think home décor would be her calling.

"I just wanted to have a happy, positive place. Something to throw myself in 24 hours and seven days a week. That is exactly what I did," she said.

The dynamo from New Kent poured everything into her growing business. Michelle owns four locations from Williamsburg to Short Pump.

"Fully absolute dedication. I live, eat, breathe the Lazy Daisy. It is my passion,” she said.

That passion also happened to save Michelle’s life.

"The reason behind the Lazy Daisy was loss," she said. "My life was normal. Very busy. Very hectic. Go. Go. Go."

Six years ago, on August 26, 2011, during Hurricane Irene, her son Morgan was in the care of his father Scott. But Scott would not return Michelle’s phone call.

"My range of emotion was anger -- to fear -- to let everything be OK and I had this feeling in my stomach that something was horribly wrong," she recalled.

After a day of not hearing from Morgan’s father, a worried Michelle arrived at Scott’s girlfriend’s house on Stockleigh Drive in Chester. She was greeted by investigators and a tangle of yellow police tape.

"They told me they didn’t know how to tell me. I begged them to tell me what was wrong," Michelle said.

Morgan and his dad were shot dead by the estranged husband of Scott’s girlfriend.

Morgan Allred was only seven years old.

"I just remember forcing myself to the ground because I went completely numb," Michelle said. "Knowing that your mom and your dad have to be called to let them know that their grandson was killed and drive and hour. It was hell. It was a hell day."

Without her only child, Michelle spiraled downward.

"It was pouring rain. I got up late at night and I went to the cemetery. I tried digging him up. I screamed and I cried. I knew I was going to die. I wasn’t going to make it," Michelle said.

Michelle and Morgan Leshok

But a shell-shocked Michelle chose not to be angry and bitter. Opening the first The Lazy Daisy location in Chester would be her salvation.

"I tell people all of the time. I wasn’t just a mom. I was THE mom. He was my entire existence," Michelle said.

Michelle's new venture also honors the memory of her cherished son. Her son’s silhouette even graces the store’s sign.

"Everything I do is for Morgan," Michelle said.

Her son, who will forever be that smiling seven-year-old boy, inspires his mom each and every day.

Morgan Leshok

"The happiest little boy you would ever know. Smiles always. Always. Everything about him. Beautiful happy. Healthy. Just taken way too soon," Michelle said.

Michelle Leshok credited Morgan for her award-winning business.

"I expanded again and again and again. Then I ventured into our second location and a third and a fourth. It has been crazy. Really incredible," Michelle said.

After years of pain and heartache, The Lazy Daisy has helped Michelle Leshok bloom again.

"He is everywhere. He has his hands all in it. He will make sure his Mom is OK. So. It's good.”

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- A suspect was arrested after a police pursuit on I-64 after a woman and her son were shot during a domestic dispute in an eastern Henrico County neighborhood early Saturday morning, according to Crime Insider sources.

When officers responded to a 911 call in the 4200 block of Fayette Circle just after 12:50 a.m., Henrico police found two people "suffering from obvious signs of trauma."

Officials said 32-year-old Renita Shantel Williams was pronounced dead at the scene. The other person, a juvenile, was transported to a area hospital where he later died of his injuries.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the specific cause of their deaths, according to police.

Crime Insider: Mother killed, son wounded 

Crime Insider sources said the deadly shooting stemmed from a domestic situation.

Those sources said that Renita Shantel Williams was fatally shot and that her son, a Varina High School student, was wounded while protecting his mother.

Sources said the suspect in the double shooting is Derrell Williams.

Virginia State Police arrested a 33-year-old Derrell Williams of Richmond during a traffic stop on I-64 Eastbound in New Kent County.

Troopers said Williams was driving erratically and swerving across the center line in the highway at 1:22 a.m. when officials said he attempted to elude police, he lost control, spun out on the highway and ran away on foot.

The troopers later caught him and found cocaine and a handgun inside of Williams' vehicle.

Williams faces a list of charges including, felony eluding, driving with a suspended and revoked license, drug possession and gun charges, but he had not yet been charged in connection with the double shooting.

Neighbor: 'I'm like shocked'

Neighbors were stunned when officers converged on the street following a 911 call for a double shooting.

"I'm like shocked,” said one man who owns a home in the neighborhood. "Of course, you really want to know where it's located.”

"When you find it so close to the neighborhood that you grew up in and then say, 'Well, I saw this coming,'” the man said. "It was so many different people in and out of the house. It was hard to get to know one or two people."

He said he can't stop thinking about the victims' family.

"My prayers are with them,” the neighbor said. "Somebody's got to standup. Somebody's got to come out here and say, 'No, enough is enough."

"While detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident, Henrico Police are not seeking the public’s assistance in locating a suspect," officials said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. – The family of the mother and son killed in what relatives and Crime Insider sources said was a domestic shooting early Saturday morning are urging others to leave abusive relationships.

When officers responded to a 911 call in the 4200 block of Fayette Circle just after 12:50 a.m., Henrico police found the two "suffering from obvious signs of trauma."

Renita Wells died at the scene. Her 15-year-old son, Jaishaun Williams, was wounded and transported to an area hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Renita Wells and Jaishaun Williams.

"She loved her kids. She was a fun person; everybody loved her,” Rachelle Wells, Renita Wells’ mother, said. “She didn't do nothing to nobody, she didn't deserve this.”

Less than an hour after the shooting, Virginia State Police arrested Derrell Williams on I-64 in New Kent after troopers said he ran from them.

Wells' family and police sources said Wells and Williams were married and that the violence was domestic-related.

"I just told her the other day to get a restraining order on him because she was afraid,” Rachelle Wells remembered.

But Wells' family is not sure why Jaishaun was at the home. The Highland Springs High School student was shot protecting his mother, the family said.

"So when I get there, I see the yellow tape, I knew my baby was gone,” Rachelle Wells said. “And then, when the detective got there, I found out my grandson had been shot.”

Derrell Williams

Investigators have not charged Derrell Williams in the double homicide although they are not looking for suspects.

"That was my baby, she didn't deserve this,” Eddie Wyatt, Renita Wells’ father, said.

Wells is survived by two other sons, one of whom is a baby.

Her extended family grieved Sunday and recalled memories of Jaishaun's style.

Beyond their pain, the Wells family urged others to reach out if a relationship shows signs of serious trouble.

"If you are in an abusive relationship, please get out of it, get help,” a family member pleaded.

A candlelight vigil is planned in front of the home on Fayette Circle for Wednesday at 5 p.m.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Grief counselors were on hand Monday at Highland Springs High School after the weekend shooting death of Jaishaun Williams.

Williams, 15, attended the Henrico County high school.

He and his mother, Renita Wells, were killed inside a Fayette Circle home early Saturday morning.

Renita Wells' parents believe Jaishaun was killed trying to protect his mother from his stepfather, her husband.

"I just told her the other day to get a restraining order on him because she was afraid," Renita's mother Rachelle Wells said.

Derrell Williams, Jaishaun's stepfather and Renita's husband, was later arrested on unrelated charges.

Derrell Williams, 33, is expected to be arraigned in New Kent County court on several charges including felony eluding police, possession of drugs, and gun charges. While he is not charged with the homicides, police confirmed they were not looking for any suspects at this time.

Williams was arrested on Interstate 64 less than an hour after Saturday's fatal shooting.

A Virginia State Police trooper spotted Williams driving erratically on the interstate in New Kent.

"[The] trooper initiated a traffic stop with his lights and siren, and the violator car immediately accelerated up to 130 miles an hour, to attempt to elude," a Virginia State Police spokesperson said. "[Williams] turned off his headlights and approached another vehicle. [Williams] immediately swerved to miss the upcoming vehicle and then lost control, spinning out on the roadway. Once the car came to rest, [Williams] ran on foot leaving his vehicle in drive forcing it into an embankment around the 217 mile marker."

After catching and arresting Williams, police said they found cocaine and a handgun in his car.

A candlelight vigil for Renita Wells and her son Jaishaun is planned for Wednesday evening in front of Fayette Circle home.

“’I’m going to end up beating up Darell bro,’ Pettaway explained Williams told him. ’He been acting crazy,’ he added. I never thought that would be the last time I talked to my little brother,” said Pettaway.

Pettaway said his brother was supposed to be at their aunt’s house but came to their mom’s house after she reached out to him.

“My mom was texting him and kept calling him like ‘where you at, I need you to come home, me and Darell are fighting,’” said Pettaway.

Pattaway said his brother died protecting their mother.

“I’m real proud of him. I just wish it ain’t have to end like that,” he said. “In my heart they still here. I’m going to live it up for them so they still here through me.”

Pettway said his mom and brother will live on through his music.

The viewing will be held Friday from 1-7 p.m. and a celebration of life Saturday at 11 a.m. at Saint Paul’s Baptist Church, 4247 Creighton Road, Richmond.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — Fire marshals are investigating after a fire displaced a family of seven in the county’s West End Saturday morning.

Crews responded to multiple calls about a house fire in the 2300 block of Horsley Drive near the intersection of Ridgefield Parkway and John Rolfe Parkway at 10:30 a.m. The first firefighters arrived within three minutes to find heavy smoke coming from all four sides of the two-story house as well as flames coming from a bedroom in the back.

Conflicting information from the home’s occupants lead firefighters to immediately go into “rescue mode” and search through the heat and blinding smokes for civilians that may have been trapped inside. All of the occupants were found safe outside of the home.

Hose lines from the first engine to arrive were quickly moved through the house where they reached the seat of the fire and quickly extinguished it. Personnel who arrived later on used fans to remove the smoke and checked for hidden fire throughout the home.

No firefighters or civilians were injured in the fire and the Virginia Chapter of the American Red Cross has been requested to assist the family of four adults and three juveniles who were displaced. Officials say that smoke alarms woke the family from their sleep and allowed them to escape safely.

The cause and origin of the fire are still under investigation by the Fire Marshals office.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. --  A tractor trailer hauling chicken overturned as it attempted to exit Interstate 295 in eastern Henrico Tuesday morning. The crash, and clean up, has shutdown the ramp from Interstate 295 north onto Route 5 east (Exit 22A).

The truck driver fell asleep behind the wheel, lost control on the exit ramp, over-corrected, and then overturned the truck, according to Virginia State Police.

Henrico Fire and EMS spokesman Captain Taylor Goodman said the driver was trapped in the tractor trailer after accident. Henrico crews got him out and he was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

"We had to bring the heavy wrecker service in, private contractors had to pump all the fuel--couple hundred gallons out of those tanks --so we minimize chances of explosion or leak or anything like that," Goodman said. "We also have to work with folks from the USDA to make sure all of poultry is being disposed of the way it's supposed to be."

The truck was carrying 34,000 pounds of frozen chicken, according to police. The chicken was laying on the ground around the crash site.

In order to tow the tractor trailer away, it will have to be split in half, and taken in two parts.

Troopers have not identified the driver yet, but said he was charged with reckless driving.

Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy smoke coming from the back of a 2-story home.

HENRICO, Va. – Richmond travelers and residents alike will have a new mass transit option when traveling to and from the Richmond International Airport, GRTC announced.

Though two routes currently take travelers to the airport, there has long been a gap in consistent hourly and weekend service.

The bus route 56 South Laburnum makes three daily trips to the airport and the number 7 Seven Pines route currently transports passengers near the airport, but not directly there.

Henrico County and airport officials approved of an adjustment to the Seven Pines route that will include a dedicated airport stop near baggage claim. From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., buses will operate every 30 minutes.

Route 7 A/B Nine Mile Henrico, highlighted in light blue above, will provide service from Downtown Richmond to Henrico County’s East End, also connecting with popular destinations like White Oak Village and the Walmart shopping center, GRTC says

The route will still not operate on weekends.

The last city stop will be at 7^th and Marshall, with the bus traveling along Laburnum Avenue,  Nine Mile Road and Marshall Street.  From that stop, passengers will find it easy to access the rest of the (currently under-construction) transit hub, and travel any direction utilizing various routes.

GRTC said that the route extension is not just for travelers, but also to serve airport employees and increase access to airport jobs. The airport has 2,500 employees and officials heard from both passengers and employees that there was a need for more routes.

"There has been a demand for more [routes to the airport] for years.  It's taken some time, but we're finally at a point where we've gotten to that place where we've identified a service that will work," said Carrie Rose Pace, GRTC communications director.

The service will launch when The Pulse is ready to operate, which is expected sometime in early 2018. The fare to or from the airport will still be just $1.50.

This addition is part of a GRTC overhaul underway as work continues on the bus rapid transit known as The Pulse, a dedicated 7.6 mile fast lane of travel from Henrico County, at Willow Lawn, to Rockett's Landing. The Pulse is intended to serve as a piece of the city's multi-modal transportation solution that is pedestrian oriented but also transit supportive. Newly installed bike share hubs are strategically placed throughout the city to provide alternative transportation that connects with the bus network.

The three partners, RIC, GRTC and Henrico County are planning new signage to accompany the new stop and additional routes.

“Richmond International Airport expects that improved GRTC bus service to the airport will not only provide benefits in terms of workforce access to a major employment center, but will also offer a consistent public transit option to travelers visiting the Richmond Region," said Troy Bell, director of marketing at the airport.

"If you’re traveling light with up to two personal items, then you can fit on a GRTC bus, ride to RIC, and take off for national and international destinations. Henrico County is committed to connecting residents and employees with Greater Richmond and beyond," said Todd Eure with Henrico County Public Works.
