A worker identified as Chelsea Johnson was shot and killed in the parking lot of an Amazon warehouse in Chesterfield County late Friday evening.
Chesterfield Police were called to the area of Bellwood Road for a report of a shooting around 9:35 p.m. Friday.
Sources told Burkett that an employee followed a trail of blood outside the building where they heard a gunshot.
Chelsea Johnson was later found by an Amazon delivery van with a gunshot wound, according to sources.
Company officials said that Chelsea Johnson was an employee of a delivery service partner that contracts with Amazon.
“We’re deeply troubled by this terrible incident and are offering support to our team and partners based at our Richmond-area delivery station,” officials with Amazon said. “This is an active investigation, and we’re cooperating with the Chesterfield County Police Department so we defer further comment to them at this time.”
Amazon officials said that workers were sent home and that shifts Saturday evening have been canceled at the facility.
Those employees will receive their wages, company officials noted.
Police said their investigation into the homicide is ongoing. Police have not released any information about a possible suspect in the shooting.
