On the evening of February 24, 2026, 34-year-old Baffour Asare Gundona of Alexandria was shot during a planned meeting in the Potomac Mills parking lot in Woodbridge. Police say the meeting involved two men who arrived to see Gundona; one of them got into Gundona’s parked vehicle and an argument broke out. Gundona was shot in the upper body, managed to exit the car, then collapsed in the parking lot. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died from his injuries.

Authorities identified Clifton Joseph Douglas, 25, of Chesterfield, as the shooter and charged him with murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Beau Wade Bishop, 28, of Woodbridge, was charged with accessory after the fact and concealing or compounding offenses; police say Bishop was arrested after the suspect vehicle was located outside his home. Reports say both men were being held without bond and court dates were pending.

Gundona’s family remembered him as a protector and provider. Does anyone have information about Gundona’s movements at Potomac Mills that evening or who else might have witnessed the encounter?
