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.

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.
