The York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help locating a 20-year-old man wanted in connection with a fatal shooting that happened in York County in early July.
Investigators have identified the man they want to talk to and are seeking the public's assistance in finding him. Anyone who knows where he is — or has seen him recently — is urged to come forward.
What we know
What's confirmed at this point is limited to what the Sheriff's Office has publicly released:
- A shooting in York County in early July left one person dead.
- The Sheriff's Office is now seeking a 20-year-old male in connection with the case.
- Investigators are treating this as an active investigation and are asking for tips on his whereabouts.
Details that remain to be established — and that this story will update as the Sheriff's Office releases them — include the precise location and date of the shooting, the identity of the victim, and the specific charge the wanted man faces.
How to help
The Sheriff's Office is accepting tips from anyone who can help locate the man. Investigators often stress that even a small detail — a sighting, a routine encounter, a person matching the description — can move a case forward.
To provide information: contact the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office's investigative division. Those who wish to remain anonymous should say so when they call; investigators typically make arrangements to keep a tipster's identity confidential. As always, do not approach or attempt to detain the individual yourself — report what you know and let deputies handle it.
Anyone with information about a violent crime should not assume it's already known. A single call can close a case.
This is a developing story. This article will be updated as the York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office releases additional details, including the victim's identity, the exact charge, and any arrest.
