A 63-year-old woman has been accused of shooting to death a 34-year-old man in her Centreville apartment.
According to Fairfax County police, Maria De Las Mercedes Tizon was arguing with the man in her apartment on the 14000 block of Climbing Rose Way on Saturday night. When the argument escalated, police say Tizon shot the man in the upper body. He was taken to Inova Fair Oaks Hospital and pronounced dead.
Police have not yet released the man’s name because they are still trying to reach next of kin.
Detectives believe he and Tizon knew each other and that the situation was limited to the apartment where the argument took place.
Anyone with information should call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477) or Fairfax County police at 703-691-2131.
