Ball was also on the RRHA's ban list, but it did not specify the reason to NBC12.

According to police, during a city-state partnership Walter and a Richmond police officer approached a vehicle they observed pulled up to a curb. As the officer was talking to the driver, Walter approached the passenger side, where Ball was seated. Police say within moments, a single shot rang out and Ball was running from the car on foot. He was later captured in Northumberland.
