Suspect sought in fatal Manassas shooting

A woman was killed after a shooting in Manassas, Virginia, and Prince William County police are looking for the suspect. It happened Monday just before 10:30 a.m. on the 8100 block of Cobden Court. The victim has been identified as Mary Anne Smoot, 37. Police said that Smoot and a family member went to the location to meet Maquan Omari McCray, 18, of Bristow, who had a previous relationship with the family member. McCray and Smoot got into a verbal fight that escalated when police said McCray shot Smoot several times before running away on foot. Police performed CPR on Smoot at the scene when they found her, but she was pronounced dead by rescue personnel. Police searched for McCray using police dogs and helicopter assistance from Fairfax County police, but he was not found. McCray is described as 5 feet, 7 inches, 160 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

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.
