MANASSAS, Va. — Prince William County Police are searching for a man accused of fatally shooting a young woman in Manassas.
German Joseth Torres Lizama, 20, is believed to be connected to the death of Ashlin Yamileth Paz.
According to police, officers were called to the area of Pineview Road and Cregger Lane on July 18 to investigate a shooting. When they arrived officers found 18-year-old Paz shot in a nearby wooded area.
First responders pronounced her dead in the wooded area.
Police said a blue Hyundai Elantra with Virginia plates was seen leaving the area shortly after the shooting. A few weeks later, Lizama was identified as a suspect in Paz's death.
