WASHINGTON — A 23-year-old Virginia man is dead following a Saturday morning shooting in a Fredericksburg parking lot.
Fredericksburg police said they got reports of a gun being fired in the Greenbriar Town Center parking lot in the 2000 block of Plank Road just before 2 a.m.
Officers found shell casings in the parking lot when they got there.
Less than 10 minutes later, police received a call from Mary Washington Hospital about a man who had arrived in the emergency room with gunshot wounds. That man, Alon Alvin Clipper, King George County, later died from his injuries.
The police department is asking anyone with information to contact them at 540-373-3122.
A double murder happened in the same parking lot two years ago.
Back then, a Spotsylvania teenager stabbed three men after attending a graduation party. They were also in the parking lot at around 2 a.m., getting a late night meal from the Cook Out restaurant located there, when an argument turned violent.
