OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On October 30, 2024, Andy Ernesto Espinoza Garay, 26, was fatally shot by Virginia State Police after a high-speed pursuit on Interstate 95. The chase followed an earlier carjacking incident, and officers began pursuing a vehicle that was believed to be involved in the carjacking. During the pursuit, Garay crashed into a Virginia State Police vehicle, causing it to flip. Despite the crash, Garay continued driving and was eventually stopped near the Joplin Road exit. Officers fired after Garay made several quick, erratic movements with his hands while wearing a ski mask. The police did not confirm if Garay was armed, and no firearms were reportedly found at the scene. Following the shooting, four officers involved in the incident were placed on administrative leave as the investigation continues, with the Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney reviewing the case.
