The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Jeremiah D. Gray, 20, of Temple Hills, Maryland, died after the shooting in the Rusty Blackhaw Square area.
A second man remains in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Deputies responded to the Rusty Blackhaw Square area around 9 p.m. Sunday for reports of gunfire. Two wounded men were found. Police found one man in the street and the other in a nearby house.
The sheriff’s department hasn’t established a motive or said if they believe the two men shot each other. However, the investigators stated there is no indication of an ongoing threat to the community.
“We have identified everyone involved and the shooting remains under investigation,” said Kraig Troxell, the sheriff’s office director of communications.
