Two people are dead after an early morning shooting near an office complex in Sterling, Virginia, deputies said.
According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 call was made at around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday for an argument inside an apartment complex in the 21000 block of Huntington Square.
Deputies found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds along a wooden fence of an adjacent office park on Ridgetop Circle when they arrived.
Both people — later identified as 22-year-olds Mijal Conejero-Romera, of Sterling, and Diego Alexander Woollett, of Arlington — were taken to the hospital where they later died.
The preliminary investigation shows that after the argument happened inside the complex, Conejero-Romera and Woollett walked around the fence to where the shooting took place.
Deputies are still looking for suspects. Authorities believe that it was a targeted incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office or call Detective Grimsley at (703) 777-1021 as their investigation is ongoing.
