PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. (DC News Now) — A man was ordered to spend more than a decade in prison for his involvement in a deadly shooting that happened last November in Prince William County.

The Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth said the charges against 39-year-old Zahir Abdul-Rahman Mujahid stem from Nov. 23, 2024, when officers were called to the area of Stream Walk Lane near Balls Ford Road for a report of a shooting.

There, officers reportedly found 45-year-old Horace Roy Johnson III had been shot multiple times, with several spent shell casings around him. He passed away from his injuries.

At the scene, police said they found “very distinctive red glasses on the ground,” known to be worn by Mujahid. Investigators, upon canvassing the area, learned there had been a physical altercation between multiple people, including him.

After the altercation, Mujahid drew a gun from his waistband and shot Johnson multiple times.

He was ordered to spend 40 years in prison, with 19 years and four months suspended. Upon release, he will be placed on 25 years’ probation.
