**UPDATES**

Aggravated Malicious Wounding | Shooting Investigation *ARRESTS | NEW INCIDENT – On May 17 at 9:49PM, officers were in the area of F St and Occoquan Rd in Woodbridge (22191) when gunshots were heard coming from a nearby shopping center.

While checking the area, officers observed a vehicle leaving the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was followed to the area of the Prince William Pkwy and Worth Ave where officers attempted to stop the occupants. The driver ignored the officer’s emergency equipment and continued to the area of Surry Dr where the occupants bailed out and fled on foot.

Officers quickly apprehended four individuals from the vehicle including the driver, identified as a 17 year old male juvenile, and a 16 year old male juvenile passenger. The 16 year old suspect was determined to be the same juvenile wanted in connection to the April 17 shooting on Kirwyn Ct where a 12 year old boy was shot and wounded.

The investigation into this latest incident revealed that the 16 year old suspect was involved in a physical altercation in the shopping center when he brandished a firearm and fired multiple rounds which alerted nearby officers. No injuries were reported in this incident. Detectives did locate a bullet hole in an unoccupied vehicle in the parking lot.

In regard to the ongoing investigation into the April 12 incident, detectives are still seeking a suspect, identified as Bryan RAMOS, in connection to that incident.
