* Man shot in Lawrenceville has died

A man shot Thursday night at a home near Lawrenceville has died, Gwinnett County police said Friday.

The shooting occurred about 8 p.m. Thursday at 2309 Five Forks Trickum Road, in a one-story, siding house near Moon Place Road.

A resident of the neighborhood behind the house reported hearing gunshots to an officer who was making a routine patrol there.

Police found Ricardo Santos Dicks, 21, lying on the floor of the home with gunshot wounds, police spokesman Cpl. Darren Moloney said.

Dicks, who Moloney said was a visitor at the house, was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center, where he died Friday morning.

A police crime scene van and other officers were still at the scene after 10:30 p.m. The residence was quiet Friday morning, with no cars in the driveway.

Investigators were interviewing three people who live at the residence, as well as neighbors. Moloney said he wasn’t sure whether the three residents were all home at the time of the shooting.

from what i have heard... he was at a friends house chillin... one of the guys that lived there was at the gym and the other in his room.. i guess Rico was in the living room when the front door got kicked in... shots fired. he probably tried to run as the door got kicked... they found his body on the floor of the hallway. the guy that was in his room "somehow" escaped unharmed and from what i know, didn't see a thing.

neighbors heard the gunshot and then went to get some help.. whoever did this left him for dead... i dont know anything else. but to me, it seems like he was set up.

R.I.P. RICO

**GGPIS3** · 02-09-2007, 05:33 PM

how can they have no leads.. this is fucked up! i was at the shooting range today trying out different guns and i asked a few cops that were there if they had heard anything.... one of them said he heard it was gang related... and the others knew nothing... someone must know something that will help the case... i dont see how it could be gang related other than the people who shot him might have been in a gang.. but rico had no affiliations with any gangs. this is such fucking bullshit... i hope they hire some psychic detectives or something. if they can't do it on their own.. bring in those who can.

**05Tib** · 02-09-2007, 05:42 PM

I can get in contact with a family friend who is a sheriff to see if i can find anything out

**OG-Skinny** · 02-09-2007, 06:05 PM

I'm still in disbelief that he's no longer apart of our community. I've known Rico for some time now. Truly a very sad day for all of his close friends as well as acquantiances that new him. I made this if anyone else wants to rock it in their signature..

**fight club** · 02-09-2007, 07:12 PM

i met rico a few months ago and the times i did chill with him he struck me as one of the most genuinely nice people i have ever met. he will be missed.
