PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — A 15-year-old has been arrested in connection with a violent armed robbery that occurred last month in Manassas, leaving a 32-year-old victim wounded, police said.

On June 14 around 1:15 a.m., officers responded to the 7100 block of Sudley Road for reports of a robbery. Investigators said the victim had given two individuals a ride when a third unknown man entered the vehicle. One of the men then removed the keys from the ignition and pointed a gun at the victim.

A struggle ensued, and the victim was shot before exiting the vehicle. The suspects drove off but were later tracked by police, leading to the arrest of one suspect, 18-year-old Christian Blanco, that same night.

As the investigation continued, authorities arrested a 15-year-old boy on July 28. He faces charges including robbery, grand larceny, assault, and petit larceny.

The third suspect involved in the robbery remains unidentified as the investigation continues.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Prince William County Crime Solvers at 703-792-7000 or submit tips online.
