On the evening of October 19, 2024, 23-year-old Carl Harris, a Black male, was shot and later pronounced dead at Inova Alexandria Hospital. The shooting occurred at about 7:51 p.m. in the 800 block of Manor Road in Alexandria, Virginia, after officers responded to reports of gunfire and a man down.

Witnesses reported seeing four males wearing ski masks near Harris’s body before they fled. Descriptions released include a suspect in a black jacket, black skinny jeans, a black ski mask and black Nike Air Jordans; a second noted only as wearing a ski mask; a third in a navy-colored hoodie; and a tall, skinny fourth wearing a gray sweater and black skinny jeans. The Alexandria Police Department has described the incident as a homicide and investigators have been canvassing the area and seeking public tips.

As of late December 2024, no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information was asked to contact Detective Marable with the Alexandria Police Department. If readers were in the area that evening or have information about the suspects, can you help investigators by coming forward?
