The 33-year-old man who Henrico Police said was killed following a shooting early Sunday morning was a loving father to a young daughter, according to family members.

Officers were called to a neighborhood just off Virginia Center Parkway around 2:32 a.m. Sunday, when they found Deondre Jermaine Spinks with a gunshot wound to the stomach. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital, officials said.

Spinks' mother said her family is in immense pain over her son's death. She told CBS 6 on the phone she wanted the community to know her son was a good man, who worked hard to provide for his two-year-old daughter.

No matter how or why the shooting occurred, no one should lose their life like this, and no mother should have to bury their child after something like this, Spinks' mother said.
