A verbal dispute at a Fairfax gas pump turned deadly on May 21, 2024. Around 6:07 a.m., 38-year-old Arthur Edward Mann II was shot during an argument at the Citgo on Richmond Highway in the Fair Haven area. Officers found Mann with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite emergency efforts.

Detectives say the confrontation began as a verbal altercation between Mann and another person at the pump before the fatal shot. Later that day, police arrested 44-year-old Doniel Drake of Washington, D.C.; he faces charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and was booked into the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. Anyone who was at the Citgo that morning or who has information about the argument or the shooting is asked to come forward.
