Va. police need your help finding suspect after shooting on I-395

WASHINGTON — Virginia State Police are seeking the public’s help in finding a suspect who shot at a Hyundai Sonata Thursday on northbound Interstate 395.

The driver of the Hyundai was not injured.

The shooting occurred around 8 p.m., in the northbound main lines just before the HOV entrance in Arlington County, Virginia.

When police arrived at the scene, they found a white Toyota Corolla and a gray Hyundai Sonata stopped on the right shoulder of the 9 mile marker. The cars had been traveling together when the shooting happened.

The Hyundai had a hole in the driver’s side window, as well as the passenger’s side window.

Police said it was confirmed that the holes were the result of a bullet entering on the driver’s side and exiting through the passenger’s window.

The drivers of the Hyundai and Toyota could not provide a license plate number or description of the suspect’s car.

Arlington County police and Pentagon police are helping with the investigation.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Virginia State Police at 703-803-0026 or by email at questions@vsp.virginia.gov.

It has taken nearly three years for an Arlington, Virginia, family to get justice in the murder of their loved one at a Northeast D.C. motel in 2023.

During his sentencing hearing, which resulted in a 40-year sentence for Sydnor, Bautista’s family ripped into another judge by name for allowing Sydnor to be free while he awaited sentencing for other violent crimes.
