The victim was found in a parking lot on the 2500 block of Cornelia Road in Reston, around 4:10 a.m. Sunday, June 18, Fairfax County police said.
Officers provided aid until fire and rescue personnel arrived. The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for his injuries. A canvass of the area revealed that multiple witnesses heard gunfire and observed a White SUV fleeing the scene. Detectives recovered multiple cartridge cases at the scene.
