On the evening of July 20, 2022, 21-year-old Brian Darnell Marshall II was standing on a sidewalk in the 16600 block of Georgetown Road in Woodbridge, Virginia, with a 26-year-old man when two men emerged from a nearby alley and opened fire shortly before 6:45 p.m. Marshall was struck and taken to a local hospital, where he died. The other man with him suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to his hand.

Witnesses and nearby surveillance captured two males in dark clothing moving through the alley armed with a rifle and a handgun; they fled by entering a gold-colored SUV, possibly a Mercedes. Investigators later identified a 17-year-old male who was in juvenile detention on unrelated charges. That individual, identified in reports as Elijah Hadley, was charged after a gun found in his possession was ballistically matched to the weapon used in the shooting, his DNA was linked to cartridge casings from the scene, and clothing at his home matched the footage.

The case has been pursued through the courts while police continue looking for the second shooter. Did anyone in Woodbridge see the gold SUV or the two men that night?
