Christopher McDuffie, 25, was shot in a Stafford, Virginia apartment courtyard on February 21, 2022 and died after being taken to a hospital. Deputies responded about 2:42 p.m. to the Garrison Woods apartment complex on Garrison Woods Drive, where they found McDuffie suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives from the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office interviewed witnesses and collected evidence; investigators identified a suspect and sought warrants for murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Authorities named 22-year-old Tarik Shiggs of Stafford and later found him in South Carolina. He was arrested in Sumter County on February 25, 2022 and extradited to Stafford County to face charges.

In February 2023 the murder trial was postponed because of a lack of witnesses and the charges remain pending. If anyone has information about McDuffie, his movements that afternoon, or the shooting, contact investigators.
