RICHMOND — Richmond Police charged Isiah M. Mundy, 30, of Linden Street, Wednesday with attempted murder, first-degree burglary, three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon in connection with a May 29 shooting.

A woman told police at 4:30 a.m. May 29 that Mundy came to her Edwards Avenue residence where they had a conversation outside about the children they have in common.
She then went inside the residence and told Mundy that he could not come in. Soon afterwards, she told police Mundy forced the front door open.
The women ran down a hallway to her bedroom where she said she could hear Mundy yelling and then heard a gunshot, according to the police report.
The complainant checked on her children, ages 14, 7 and 5, in a bedroom across the hall to ensure they were not injured. She then returned to the front of the residence where another party had arrived and was trying to remove Mundy from the apartment. The complainant engaged in a physical altercation with Mundy before he was removed from the apartment, the police report stated.
Officers observed damage to the front door consistent with forced entry and also noted a bullet hole in the wall near the hallway. They also recovered a bullet from the wall, according to the report.
On Wednesday, Madison County Sheriff’s Deputies attempted to take Mundy into custody when he arrived at Madison Family Court or First Street. However, Mundy claimed to be ill and told the deputies he feared he was suffering a heart attack, according to Richmond Police Chief Larry Brock. 
Mundy was transported to Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center where he was examined and released, Brock said. RPD officers then took Mundy into custody and booked him into the Madison County Detention Center, where he remained Thursday under a $100,000 bond.
