Murder Investigation – On March 19, detectives from the Homicide Unit made two arrests and identified a third suspect involved in the shooting death of an adult male which occurred in the 7900 block of Blue Gray Cir in Manassas on March 18.
The investigation revealed that the victim, identified as Javiel Rosado SANTIAGO, made arrangements to meet in the above area to conduct a narcotics transaction.
Once in the area, the victim was approached by three suspects.
During the encounter, one of the suspects, identified as a juvenile, attempted to rob the victim. At that point, another suspect fired towards the victim, striking the juvenile suspect in the hand. When the victim attempted to flee on foot, he was shot. Officers arrived in the area and located the juvenile suspect who was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
While checking the area, officers located the victim who was later pronounced dead as a result of his injuries.
The juvenile was eventually charged and detectives were able to identify the other two suspects involved.
