20-Year-Old Shooter Back In Jail After Threatening Victim: Police

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — After getting released from jail on bond Tuesday, Letonto Fox returned to the Fredericksburg neighborhood where he allegedly shot at a man Monday night and threatened the same man, according to the Fredericksburg Police Department. Fox, 20, of Bowling Green was re-arrested in Chesterfield County early Wednesday morning and is facing several new charges.

In the Monday night incident, a Fredericksburg resident called police after hearing gunshots fired in the 300 block of South Street. Fredericksburg police officers responded to the area and located a small group of people.

One of the men said a vehicle approached the group and the driver, later identified as Fox, began an argument with him. When the conversation escalated, Fox pulled out a gun and shot in the man's direction, according to police. Fox then drove off toward a 7-11 store on Tidewater Trail.

Fox was located in Caroline County shortly after the incident and was taken into police custody on charges of discharging a firearm in public and brandishing a firearm. He was jailed Monday at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

The next day, Fox was released from jail on bond. But later on Tuesday, the 911 communications center received a report around 2:30 p.m. that Fox was threatening the victim in Monday's incident. The new incident took place in front of a residence in the 300 block of Glover Street, about eight blocks from where the Monday shooting took place. After allegedly making threats to harm the man, Fox left the area.

Early Wednesday morning, around 1:30 a.m., Fox was arrested in Chesterfield County, south of Richmond, on misdemeanor charges of assault and threats by phone and three felony charges of attempt to maliciously wound. He is currently being held at the Chesterfield County Jail without bond.

The Fredericksburg police do not know at this time when Fox will be extradited to Fredericksburg, a police spokeswoman said.
