The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting stemmed from an attempted illegal gun sale and robbery.
Four suspects—two 16-year-olds, one 17-year-old, and 18-year-old Jeremiah Upson of Caroline County—have been charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and unlawful assembly. One of the 16-year-old suspects, who had been hospitalized with a gunshot wound, has since been released and is now being held at the Rappahannock Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
The other three suspects, all from Spotsylvania County, are being held without bond. The suspect still hospitalized will be taken into custody upon release.
The three deceased victims have been identified as:
- Chase Feaster, 18, of Spotsylvania County
- Alonzo Goffney, 18, of Spotsylvania County
- Sincere Devon Fitz, 19, of Spotsylvania County
The Sheriff’s Office initially responded to the scene around 5:30 p.m. on April 8 and discovered multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds. Three individuals were pronounced dead, and three others were transported to local hospitals.
The investigation remains active, but officials say significant progress has been made thanks to the efforts of detectives and assistance from the Fredericksburg Police Department and the Virginia State Police.
“We commend our detectives on bringing this tragedy to a closure,” said Major Elizabeth Scott in a statement. “We would certainly be remiss if we didn’t thank our community during what has been a stressful and heartbreaking several days.”
