A nurse tried to save the life of a “loving father” ambushed in the parking lot of townhomes in Henrico’s Near West End Friday night.

Two suspects knocked on a neighbor’s door at the very end of the 4103 building on Townhouse Road around 10 p.m., Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.

When officers arrived, they found a man in the street with life-threatening injuries, officials said.

While Henrico Police are trying to figure out a motive, the victim's girlfriend told Burkett she tried her best to save him.

The mother of their 1-year-old old child said she was looking in her car in the parking lot when her boyfriend, 30-year-old Roscoe Anderson, came outside to check on her.

"He walked out to the car and said, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ I said, ‘I'm looking for the chapstick,’” she told Burkett. “And when we looked up, this guy was coming down the sidewalk. The same guy I seen at the end of our townhouse complex was coming down the sidewalk with a gun. And he just shot him down."
