It’s been a week since 34-year-old Freddy Orozco Lopez was shot dead in Manassas Park.
As far as we know, the suspect, Juan Zacarias, 39, remains at large. We also still don’t know the circumstances of the case. A police press release posted to the police department’s Facebook page six days ago states detectives don’t plan to release that information due to an ongoing investigation.
July 3, 2023, update from Manassas police: “The juvenile is a 9-year-old male, and the dogs are pit bulls.”
Original Post — Manassas City Police: “On June 26th, the Manassas City Police Department responded to an incident on the 9000 block of Winterset Drive involving three individuals bitten by canines. An investigation by our Animal Control Division revealed that the incident began when two dogs were inadvertently let out of the property. During the effort to get two canines back to their residence, one of the two canines began to bite a minor; an adult female relative grabbed the canine and pulled it off the child, allowing the child to get to safety.’
The victims were then transported to an area hospital where they are expected to recover. The investigation revealed the two victims were near the playground area when they encountered two other males, later identified as the two accused. At one point during the encounter, a verbal altercation escalated before shots were fired, striking the two victims. The suspects fled the area on foot prior to police arriving at the location.
“While checking the area, officers and a police K-9 located and detained both suspects who were in possession of the firearms. No additional injuries or property damage were reported. Following the investigation, the two accused, both identified as 16-year-old male juveniles, were arrested. In addition, one of the accused was found in possession of suspected illegal narcotics.”

“The business did have an existing fire prevention code permit, which meant the business could be subject to inspection at any time.

The Stafford County Fire Marshal’s Office continues to investigate, and charges are pending against the two individuals involved.”
