WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A teen was shot and killed in a vehicle Saturday afternoon, leaving police in Prince William County searching for answers in the homicide case.
Officers with the Prince William County Police Department responded to Moonbeam Drive, off of Minnieville Road, around 1:45 p.m. after a report of a shooting in the area. Upon arriving, they found a 17-year-old boy sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body.
Fire and rescue crews also responded to the location and took the teen to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries. But, he was later pronounced dead.
Investigators say the teen and suspects met up to sell a gun. At some point during the sale, the teen was shot and his money was stolen. The two suspects then drove away, leaving the teen to die.
Police announced two people were arrested in connection to the teen's death Tuesday. Those suspects have been identified as 21-year-old Jordan Delaney Sickles and 18-year-old Re'Kwon Nyqualin Barnet.
Sickles was arrested in Manassas and has been charged with murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Barnet turned himself in to police a short time after Sickles's arrest. He has been charged with being an accessory after the fact. The pair are being held without bond.
