Upon entering, officers found a substantial amount of blood on the floor.
Police said now they’re just trying to find the man.
“It appears it may have been an attempted suicide but we can’t find the victim and there’s a lot of blood and, and we’d like to find this guy,” said Det. Steve Cooper, with Charleston Police.
After speaking with neighbors, police said they think Richmond tried to take his own life.
Police added a friend has made contact with Richmond since. That person said Richmond is alive but his injuries have not been treated.
The situation may have stemmed from a fight with Richmond’s ex-girlfriend, after which the man tried to hurt himself.
