Police have arrested a man linked to the deadly Mount Vernon double shooting earlier this week.

Jeremiah Mouzon, 20, of Centreville, Virginia, is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, in connection to the shootings early Monday of two brothers in the Mount Vernon area.

Kamren and Jayden Quick, both of Alexandria, were found with gunshot wounds that morning. Kamren Quick, 18, was found outside with serious but not life-threatening injuries. His brother, 20-year-old Jayden Quick, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound inside a nearby home.

Fairfax County police said earlier that they believe the shootings were not random.

In an update Thursday, police said they learned the suspect, Mouzon, was in Maryland, and they worked with Prince George’s County police to bring him safely into custody.

Mouzon is in custody in Prince George’s County until he is extradited back to Virginia.

Va. health dept. improves nursing home inspection backlog, reforms sanction criteria for facilities

Stories of neglect in care or unsanitary living situations have plagued several of Virginia’s nursing home facilities in recent years and data backs up a lapse in oversight by state agencies.  With reform efforts underway, the Virginia Department of Health officials said they aim to adopt sanction criteria by the end of the year to rein in bad actors and get troubled facilities back on track.  As of July, 58% of Virginia’s nursing homes were overdue for inspections and 68 of Virginia’s 289 nursing homes were found to have serious deficiencies, according to ProPublica. Several of the state’s flagged facilities with numerous deficiencies also had high staffing turnover rates.  The issue has been salient among various healthcare spaces, including VDH.
