CONTRIBUTED BY: CPL. CHRIS RIZZUTI

AUGUST 6, 2018

Early on Sunday, June 24, a group of friends were hanging out at Bella Italia in the Irongate Shopping Center in Chesterfield County. An argument broke out between one of the men in the group and another man in the restaurant. The man's wife pulled him out of the restaurant, but he returned later with a gun. The gun was not fired during the incident, and no one was injured.

The suspect who brandished the firearm was described as a thin, black male. He appeared to be in his mid-to-late 40s and had short, black hair. He drove away in a black BMW.
