PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Detectives are asking for the public's help finding a man they say is responsible for shooting two people, killing one, in Dumfries Friday morning.

According to the Prince William County Police Department, officers were called to the 1900 block of Fort Monroe Court just before 9:45 a.m. for reports of a shooting.

When officers arrived, one of the men shot came outside and asked for help. The men were both taken to area hospitals for help, where one died and the other remains hospitalized. 

Police have identified the man who died as 21-year-old Jeremiah Quentin Deck. The second shooting victim has only been identified as a 23-year-old man. 

Investigators claim the two victims were with a third man inside the home when an argument unfolded. A short time later, the accused gunman reportedly followed the two men upstairs and shot them multiple times. 

Following the shooting, the gunman reportedly drove away from the home in a blue 2006 Ford Explorer with Virginia tags: VVA-7727.
