Alonzo Goffney, an 18-year-old African American resident of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, was fatally shot on April 8, 2025, during a violent incident on Olde Greenwich Circle just outside Fredericksburg. The shooting began about 5:30 p.m. and also killed 18-year-old Chase Feaster and 19-year-old Sincere Devon Fitz; three other people were wounded. Law enforcement says the violence appears to have started as an illegal gun sale that escalated into a robbery, with witnesses reporting several young men armed with firearms and sporadic gunfire striking homes and vehicles.

A neighbor fired at one of the armed individuals and wounded a 16-year-old suspect. Deputies from the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office arrested four suspects: 18-year-old Jeremiah Upson of Caroline County and three juveniles (two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old). All four face charges including malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and unlawful assembly; three are being held without bond and the wounded 16-year-old was placed in juvenile detention after hospital release. The investigation is ongoing.
