Loudoun County, VA (April 1, 2020) – The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in connection with a fatal shooting last month on Rusty Blackhaw Square.
Bryce T. Thomas, 18, was arrested last night and charged with possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent and felony possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Loudoun Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the area of Rusty Blackhaw Square shortly after 9 p.m. on March 8 for multiple reports of gunfire. Two adult males were located in the area suffering serious injuries. One of the injured males was located along Rusty Blackhaw Square with a second male found inside a nearby residence.
