Composite Sketch of Suspect Released from Reston Shooting

Posted on by

Reston Police District – Detectives from our Violent Crimes Division have released a composite sketch from the June 18 early morning shooting.

At 4:09 a.m. on June 18, officers responded to the 2500 block of Cornelia Road in Reston, for a shot person. Officers found the victim, an adult man, in the parking lot suffering from multiple gun shots to the upper body. Officers provided aid until fire and rescue personnel arrived. The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for his injuries. A canvass of the area revealed that multiple witnesses heard gunfire and observed a White SUV fleeing the scene. Detectives recovered multiple cartridge cases at the scene.

Preliminarily, detectives determined the victim and a witness saw the two suspects in the parking lot and believed they were attempting to break into the victim’s Dodge Charger. The victim went outside to confront the suspects when he was shot.

Yesterday, detectives completed a composite sketch of one of the suspects and are asking for the community’s help in identifying the men involved. The second suspect is described as a white man, early 20’s, with brown medium length hair, 5’10” and heavy set. A composite sketch is not available for the second suspect.
