ALEXANDRIA, VA – Alexandria police provided more information about their investigation into the shooting death of Charles Talley, 36, in July, including the role of Flock cameras in the investigation.
Talley was found with a gunshot wound in the parking lot of the ParcView apartments on Holmes Run Parkway on the night of July 15.
In a press briefing Friday morning, Alexandria Police Chief Tarrick McGuire revealed that the suspect in the shooting, 38-year-old Corey Stubblefield of Alexandria, had been brought to the city from North Carolina on Thursday. Stubblefield was arrested in North Carolina in August.
McGuire provided more details about what investigators think happened the night of the shooting. He said police believe Talley and Stubblefield knew each other and that they had had an argument that night. He also said there had been some kind of gathering in the area on the night of the shooting. According to McGuire, the shooting happened in the ParcView parking lot and the department found a firearm they say was used in the shooting in the area.
McGuire stressed that the department used every tool at its disposal, "including police technology," in its investigation. When asked about automatic license plate reader cameras specifically, McGuire said, "Police technology is very critical to helping us establish investigative leads." He said a vehicle associated with the suspect was spotted by Flock technology within four minutes of the crime, and that information from those cameras was crucial to this investigation.
The silver sedan was first flagged by a dog walker, who says they spotted it leaving the area of the shooting at a high speed, McGuire noted.
