On the night of December 22, 2020, in the parking lot of the Tackett’s Mill shopping center in Woodbridge, Virginia, 22-year-old Matthew Joseph Costanzo was shot multiple times and pronounced dead after a prearranged marijuana transaction turned into a robbery. Costanzo had arrived with an 18-year-old female companion and another man to meet two others identified as Daquil Raheem Smith, 19, and Taron Thomas. Both Smith and Thomas opened fire on the vehicle; the female companion was shot and survived, while the third occupant was uninjured.

Smith and Thomas fled on foot after the shooting. A K-9 unit and a Fairfax County Police helicopter assisted Prince William County Police in searching the area; Smith was found nearby and taken into custody without incident. Both suspects were later arrested and charged in connection with Costanzo’s death.

Did anyone in Woodbridge see activity around Tackett’s Mill that night or know more about the people involved?
