Prince William County Police officers responded to reports of a shooting at approximately 6:19 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found no immediate signs of injuries or involved parties at the scene. However, shortly thereafter, they were notified that a 22-year-old man was being treated at a local hospital for gunshot wounds. Tragically, the man later succumbed to his injuries.
The deceased has been identified as Calvin Tyshaun Odell Batson, 22, of Woodbridge.
Preliminary investigations indicate that two groups were involved in an altercation in the area, which escalated into an exchange of gunfire. Both groups fled the scene in separate vehicles before officers arrived. There were no additional reports of injuries or property damage, and police believe the incident was not random.
