PETERSBURG – Simone Shelton was leaving the Summit Pointe Apartment complex Wednesday morning when she noticed a Petersburg Police vehicle with siren and lights going, apparently rushing to a call. That was not to be her first encounter with speeding cars this particular day.
A few minutes later, sitting at the stop light at the intersection of Defense and Squirrel Level roads, Shelton noticed a burgundy car in her rear-view mirror. The car was approaching her at a high speed, and was being followed by a police car.

PETERSBURG Virginia State Police said Wednesday they are now investigating the death of a man found shot in a wrecked car on Interstate 95 Sunday night as a homicide, but they are not saying yet if that death resulted from a shooting incident reported minutes earlier in a neighborhood adjacent to the interstate.
State Police Sgt. Dylan Davenport identified the victim as Quintell Pulliam, 35, of Petersburg. Pulliam was discovered in his vehicle southbound on I-95 around 10:45 p.m. Sunday. He was taken to Bon Secours Southside Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation s Richmond Field Office is continuing its investigation into a homicide that occurred in the City of Petersburg Sunday night, Davenport said in a VSP news release. That was the first time Pulliam s death was referred to as a homicide.
