An 18-year-old man shot in Woodbridge today, July 18, 2023, died after being flown to an area trauma center.

Prince William police: “Homicide Investigation – On July 18 at 1:02 AM, officers responded to the 14100 block of Big Crest Ln in Woodbridge (22191) to investigate a shooting. The investigation revealed the victim, identified as an 18-year-old man, and a juvenile acquaintance were in the above area when the victim was shot in the upper body.”

“After the shooting, the acquaintance contacted police to report his friend had been shot before disconnecting and leaving the area. Officers initially responded and checked the area, unable to locate the involved parties or a crime scene.”
