Front Royal Man Shot Up Home In Triangle: Police

TRIANGLE, VA — A Front Royal man was charged with attempted murder after the Prince William County police accused him of firing a gun last weekend into a home in Triangle following an argument. Ray Anthony Dickerson Jr., 29, of the 1100 block of Kendrick Ford Road, is being held without bond in the Prince William-Manassas regional jail on charges of attempted murder, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and shooting into an occupied dwelling, according to a police report.

The charges stem from an incident on the evening of Sunday, Sept. 8, in a housing complex near the 17900 block of Old Triangle Road in Triangle. The police say that Dickerson got into a shouting match with an unidentified 38-year-old man, and then fired shots towards him.

Dickerson fled from the area in an unknown direction, the police said, and no injuries were reported.

Officers responded at 7:55 p.m. Sunday when residents in the neighborhood reported multiple gunshots. A police K-9 unit and a Fairfax County police helicopter searched the area for the gunman, but they didn't find him.

Police detectives found shell casings in the parking lot. One of the gunshots damaged a window and interior wall in one of the dwellings in the complex, the police dsaid.

Following an investigation, Dickerson turned himself in to the Prince William police Wednesday without incident. His next hearing in court is scheduled for Nov. 1.
