A domestic disturbance call on Arrowood Lane in Wintergreen, Virginia, on a Friday night in June 2023 led to the death of Officer Mark Christopher ’Chris’ Wagner II, 31. Wagner, a three-year member of the Wintergreen Police Department, was the first officer to arrive at about 10:00 p.m. and pursued a suspect into the nearby woods. A struggle followed in the wood line and Wagner was fatally shot with his own service weapon.

The suspect, 23-year-old Daniel Barmark of Towson, Maryland, was shot during the altercation and taken into custody by Wintergreen officers and Nelson County deputies. Two other men who had been assaulted at the residence were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Wagner’s chief remembered him as a dedicated officer with an infectious laugh who loved the outdoors.

Does anyone have information about the night on Arrowood Lane or knew Officer Wagner personally?
