On Wednesday, November 16, at 11:16 p.m., officers were called to a home 17400 block of Isle Royale Terrace in the Forest Park neighborhood off Van Buren Road near Dumfries to investigate a shooting.
Two adults, a man and woman were shot inside the basement by a man who had forced his way into the residence. A family dog, a male Pitbull mix, inside the home was also shot, police said.
The suspect fled in a vehicle before police arrived on the scene. Officers provided first aid to the male victim before rescue personnel transported him to an area hospital, where he died due to his injuries later that morning.
Rescue crews pronounced the woman dead at the scene. The family dog was humanely euthanized.
Police said the incident was isolated to the home, and the parties involved were known to one another. The investigation revealed the suspect and the female victim were previously in a relationship.
Over the course of the investigation, the suspect was identified. Information on the suspect and the suspect vehicle was provided to area law enforcement.

Charges are pending against the suspect, identified as a 24-year-old from Woodbridge. More information will be released when available. The investigation continues.
