Fair Oaks Police District – A man is in custody following a domestic-related fatal shooting that occurred overnight near Oakton.

Last night at 8:37 p.m., officers responded to the 10400 block of Viera Lane for a report of a possible domestic-related shooting. While filing a domestic dispute report with FCPD, a woman indicated that her husband, Waisuddin Quraishi, 50, had shot someone. She stated that she and her family were directly threatened by her husband and that he may be in possession of a weapon.

Following this report, officers began searching the area and located Mohammad Zekria, 37, of Fairfax, inside a vehicle in the 3300 block of Willow Crescent Drive with multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau responded to the scene and determined that Quraishi had shot Zekria. Both men were known to each other.

This morning at approximately 2:22 a.m., Virginia State Troopers located Quraishi walking alongside I-495 and Braddock Road. He was safely taken into custody and transported to Fairfax County Adult Detention Center where he was charged with Second-Degree Murder and Use of a Firearm in Commission of a Felony. Quraishi was held on no bond.
