Police have made an arrest nearly one year after a body was found near the Hunters Woods Village Center.
A teenager has been charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of a Reston man.
Detectives believe the 17-year-old suspect was involved in the 2019 murder of Jose Lorenzo Guillen Mejia.
His body was found by police officers on June 23 at around 1:45 a.m. Police responded to the scene after a reporting of gunshots along a walking trail between Hunters Woods Plaza and Breton Court.
An autopsy found that Mejia died from several gunshot wounds.
The arrest was made after police obtained a felony petition for first degree murder yesterday (Tuesday).
The suspect was already incarcerated at the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center for an unrelated offense when he was served the petition.
