Vienna resident Christian Geiger, 22, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection to the fatal shooting of Jeffrey Kojo Owusu over the weekend, police say.
Officers from the Prince William County Police Department were called at around 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2 to the lot in the area of 2250 Prince William Parkway in Woodbridge, where there was a reported shooting in the commuter lot with one person down.
Upon arrival, they found Owusu suffering from a gunshot wound to an upper body and he later died at an area hospital from his injury.
According to police, it was determined that Geiger and Owusu got into an altercation that escalated, and during the encounter, there was a struggle over a firearm, leading to Owusu being shot.
Following the shooting, Geiger initially fled, but with an assist by members of the Fairfax Police Department, and K9, and helicopter, he was ultimately tracked to his Vienna home and arrested without incident.
The incident was not random, investigators noted, and the two knew each other.
Geiger was held without bond pending his next court appearance.
