Police have arrested a suspect in connection to the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man in the 8300 block of Sunset Drive near Manassas on January 9.
Marlon Osvaldo Bautista, 20, of Manassas Park, was apprehended on January 13 and charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Bautista is being held without bond, and a court date is pending.
The victim has been identified as Calvin Tyshaun Odell Batsone, 22, of Woodbridge. Police say Batsone was shot during an altercation involving two groups that escalated into gunfire. The groups fled the scene in separate vehicles, and Batsone was later transported to an area hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. No additional injuries or property damage were reported.
The investigation initially faced challenges as Bautista remained at large after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Detectives worked to locate Bautista and apprehend him, ensuring justice for the victim and his family.
Authorities emphasize that this incident does not appear to be random. The police are urging anyone with information related to the case to contact detectives at 703-792-6500 or submit tips online at pwcva.gov/policetip.
The investigation remains active, and further details will be released as they become available.
