Suspect identified in Potomac Mills Mall shooting

Prince William County police have identified a suspect in Thursday’s shooting at Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge, Virginia.

It’s 18-year-old Jamarion Dawan Jackson, of the 18200 block of Kilmer Lane in Triangle, Virginia.

A 22-year-old man was wounded inside the Fashion Mechanics store around 3 p.m. Thursday after he approached the shooter, police said in a statement last week, and “the two men immediately began to physically fight one another.”

The unidentified 22-year-old, they said, “was struck by more than one round in the lower body.”

Both fled, and the shooting victim was taken to a hospital, where he was treated for wounds that are not considered life-threatening.

Police are now trying to locate Jackson, who faces a number of charges. He’s Black with short black hair and brown eyes, and is described as standing 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 150 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Prince William County police tip line at 703-792-7000 or submit a tip online.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
