PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. — A 19-year-old man was killed in a shooting in Prince George County on Sunday night, according to police.
The shooting happened in the 4000 block of Brandywine Drive around 10:45 p.m.
A news release from the Prince George County Police Department says officers arrived to find the victim suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim was identified Monday morning as Dan’Quariahz Redd, 19, of Hopewell.
Neighbors who called 911 told CBS 6 the victim is their son's friend who was visiting. They said the victim was about to drive away when he was suddenly shot while sitting in his car.
Those neighbors, who didn't witness the actual shooting, said Good Samaritans tried to stop the victim's bleeding with a t-shirt wrapped around his neck. They described the victim as a respectful young man and aren't sure why this would happen.
Detectives returned to the neighborhood Monday morning to continue processing the scene and collecting forensic evidence. A police spokesperson said the detectives are interviewing witnesses and following up on leads.
"We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as we work to bring this investigation to a resolution," police said in a statement.
