A Fan District man will face new charges before a multijurisctional grand jury next week in the death of a Henrico County man last week.
Robinson Hogan, 25, of the 2200 block Floyd Avenue, was charged initially with felonious assault after Luke Cockey, 23, of the 2900 block of Skipwith Road, was seriously injured during an argument in the Fan early Thursday. Hogan was arrested on Friday.
Cockey died Friday at VCU Medical Center from his injuries. Richmond prosecutors said today that they plan to upgrade the charge against Hogan but released no other details.
Richmond police said Cockey was fatally injured when he fell after being struck during an argument with another man at West Main and Rowland streets about 3:30 a.m. It is unclear what the argument was about.
Cockey's death is Richmond's second homicide this year.
A funeral for Cockey will be held tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Bliley Funeral Home, 3801 Augusta Ave.
