Manassas City Police said two men died and a third was in stable condition after a shooting Wednesday morning at United Rentals, 9415 Wellington Road. The joint release with Virginia State Police named the dead as Ricky Lamot, 48, and Christopher Serrano, 33. Police said Marvin Grant, 37, of Charlotte, N.C., an employee, fled in a silver Toyota Camry before officers arrived at 7:14 a.m. Virginia State Police said Grant died after a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a stop on Interstate 81 in Augusta County.
The afternoon release contradicts Chief Douglas W. Keen’s morning briefing, which said all three workers were in critical condition and that Grant was still being sought after leaving Northern Virginia. The release does not name the hospitals Keen gave. The morning alert described a gray Camry or Corolla. The release says the car was silver. Motive was not given. Tips go to Detective Speights at 703-257-8041, Detective Dranko at 703-257-8046, or Crime Solvers at 703-330-0330.

Prince William planners say two Dumfries-area data-center filings next to Four Seasons still have “substantial issues,” a man once sentenced to death in a 2001 Bristow killing walked out of jail Monday after 25 years, Amazon settled with King George on the Birchwood campus, and Manassas Council will hear interim-mayor applicants Oct. 5.
According to InsideNoVa, Prince William planning staff told two developers that separate applications for a total of six data centers beside the Four Seasons at Historic Virginia 55-and-over community off Interstate 95 have “substantial issues and deficiencies” and cannot be supported in their current form. William Cooley of Atlantic Funding LLC filed a solo application May 22 for a 60-acre site at 16251 Dumfries Road; Barrie Peterson of Southgate Business LLC filed June 3 on a neighboring 79-acre parcel.

The report also includes Michael C. Davis’s 178-year sentence, a Virginia State Police account of a triple-fatal crash on the Interstate 395 exit ramp at Shirlington Road, and Stafford’s Sept. 29 daily incident report, which listed three fraud complaints and a public-intoxication arrest.
The Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney said Michael C. Davis, 38, was sentenced Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, by Judge Kimberly A. Irving to 258 years with 80 years suspended, leaving 178 years to serve.
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time for commemorating our ancestors. Rather than a period of mourning, it is an occasion for celebrating with family—both living and dead—and honoring the cycle of life. Learn about La Catrina and her joyful view of life and mortality. Enjoy family-friendly activities throughout the day, including dance performances, coloring activities, and paper marigold and mask making. Visitors are invited to leave photos and mementos of their loved ones on the ofrenda (altar) or commemorate them by writing their names on a butterfly to attach to the memorial arch.
