Family member arrested and charged with aggravated malicious wounding after Friday night shooting

Aggravated Malicious Wounding – On April 21 at 9:53PM, Prince William County Police officers responded to a residence located in the 11100 block of Privates Ct in Manassas (20109) to investigate a shooting, according to Sgt. Jonathan Perok, police department spokesman.

When officers arrived at the home, they located the victim, a 27-year-old man of Manassas, suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body, Perok said. First responding officers provided aid to the victim who was flown to an area hospital for treatment, he added.

Perok said that initially, officers believed the suspect was still inside the residence which prompted the response of the Police Department’s tactical team. Officers later determined that the suspect had actually left the area in a vehicle, he said.

Detectives from the Violent Crimes Bureau were able to determine both parties were family members and that the incident was domestic in nature, Perok went on to say.

The suspect, identified as Ronald Aaron AUSBERRY II, eventually turned himself into police without incident earlier this morning.
