Suspect in March 20 Dale City slaying already in Arlington jail

Prince William police said 37-year-old Richard Del Cid was shot to death outside a Food Lion store near Dale City on March 20, 2023.

Today, police released the victim’s identity and the name of the man they say shot him — Mauricio Antonio Mayorga, 46, who has since been processed into an Arlington County jail on an unrelated charge.

From Prince William police:

Murder Investigation *ARREST | VICTIM IDENTIFIED – On April 5, detectives charged a suspect in connection to the shooting death of a 37-year-old man that occurred in a shopping center parking lot located in the 6300 block of Hoadly Rd in Manassas (20112) on March 20. The investigation revealed the involved parties were known to one another, and the incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the suspect, victim, and the female acquaintance present during the shooting.

The victim and female acquaintance reportedly met in the above area to exchange documents. The suspect allegedly followed the victim and the female acquaintance to another area of the parking lot where the shooting occurred. The suspect later turned himself in to the police on an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction.

Following the investigation, detectives linked the suspect to the murder and obtained arrest warrants. The suspect, identified as Mauricio Antonio MAYORGA, was served on charges related to the homicide investigation at the Arlington County Detention Center where he was incarcerated on his previous charge from an unrelated matter.

Mauricio Antonio MAYORGA, 46, of no fixed address

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”

Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
