In connection with the tragic shooting that occurred on Sunday at a motel in Falls Church, the police in Fairfax County have acquired warrants for an Annandale man.
According to a press release issued by the police, the 43-year-old Hiep Van Vo is wanted for second-degree murder, the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Officers were called to the Falls Church Marriott Fairview Park hotel in the 3100 block of Fairview Park Drive in response to a shooting that occurred at 12:42 in the morning.
Officers located 44-year-old Charles Anthony Ashe Jr. of Maryland near the elevators. He was suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body when they found him. Because they were already at the hotel for an unrelated incident, the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue team was able to rapidly respond to the situation. The man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead after being treated for his injuries.
In the preliminary investigation, the investigators found that Ashe and Vo were familiar with one another. According to the announcement, Ashe entered the room that Vo was sharing with four other people while they were there.
After entering the room, Vo fired a shot at Ashe. Nobody else was hurt in the incident. Ashe was able to escape the hotel room, and her friends, who had heard the gunshots, helped her to the elevator.
According to the authorities, Vo escaped from the motel. The investigation has led the detectives to conclude that the shooting was not a random incident.
There was evidence of the presence of narcotics found inside the hotel room.
Calling the non-emergency number at 703-691-2131 is requested by the detectives from anyone who may have information regarding Vo’s whereabouts.
