Detectives Seek Help From Community in Shooting Investigation That Leaves One Dead, One Injured

Mason Police District – Detectives continue to investigate the early morning fatal shooting that occurred in the Build America Plaza parking lot. 

Around 2:19 a.m., officers were dispatched to a report of a shot person in the 3800 block of South George Mason Drive in Bailey’s Crossroads. Two adult men were found suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body. Both men were taken to the hospital with injuries considered life-threatening. One of the victims, Maurice Anderson, 24, of Washington D.C, succumbed to his injuries and died at the hospital. The second victim remains hospitalized. 

Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau determined the men were at a restaurant in the Build America Plaza. An argument in the parking lot led to one man discharging multiple rounds, striking the two men. The man was seen entering a vehicle and leaving the scene. Detectives recovered images of the suspect responsible for the shooting.
