Bao Hung Van, a 21-year-old male, was fatally shot in what police described as a dispute with an acquaintance on the evening of March 15, 2018. The incident occurred inside Vapology101, a vape shop located in the 10100 block of Colvin Run Road in Great Falls, Virginia. Officers from the Fairfax County Police Department responded to a report of a shooting at approximately 7:40 p.m.
Upon arrival, they discovered Bao Hung Van of Herndon, who had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Manvinder Aulakh of McLean, remained at the business after the shooting and was taken into custody by the responding officers without incident. Investigators believe the shooting was an isolated event, as the victim and the suspect were known to each other, and they assured the public that there was no broader threat to the community.
Following his arrest, Manvinder Aulakh was charged with murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He was subsequently held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center without bond. The police continued to investigate the circumstances and the motive that led to the fatal dispute between the two acquaintances.
