Mauricio Antonio MAYORGA

A man has been charged in connection to a deadly shooting that occurred in a shopping center parking lot last month in Manassas.

Detectives have charged Mauricio Antonio Mayorga, 46, with murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony in connection to the shooting death of Richard Del Cid, 37, of Woodbridge.

An investigation revealed the two men were known to each other and the incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute between them and a woman present during the shooting.

Cid and the woman reportedly met in the 6300 block of Hoadly Rd in Manassas to exchange documents. Mayorga allegedly followed them to another area of the parking lot where the shooting occurred.
