Manassas shooting leaves 1 dead, another hospitalized

A man was killed and another sent to the hospital after a third man shot them both Friday night in Manassas, Virginia, according to law enforcement.

Prince William County police said the suspect approached 25-year-old Dalton Jakob Moore, of no fixed address, and another man around 8:30 p.m. Friday near the 7-Eleven on Sudley Manor Drive and Williamson Boulevard.



After briefly talking with the two, the suspect opened fire and fled the area.

Police sai Moore died at the scene. The other man who was shot was taken to a hospital, and is expected to recover.

Authorities described the suspect as a heavyset man with short dark hair and a beard. He was wearing a black hoodie and black shorts, and left the area in a light-colored sedan on the night of the shooting.

Police encourage anyone with information to contact detectives 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.
