Calvin Tyshaun Odell Batson, 22, was struck during the exchange and later died at an area hospital, according to the Prince William County Police Department.

Detectives identified the suspect as 20-year-old Marlon Osvaldo Bautista of the 100 block of Scott Drive in Manassas Park, who was arrested on Monday, Jan. 13 and charged with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Authorities say Bautista fled the scene following the shooting. Attempts to locate him have been unsuccessful, and police are urging anyone with information about Bautista’s whereabouts to come forward.
