HERNDON, Va. – Police in Northern Virginia are searching for a suspect after a man was shot several times outside a shopping center in Herndon on Sunday night.
The shooting occurred just before 7:45 p.m. at the Worldgate Shopping Center, located off Centreville Road.
Herndon police say the victim was shot multiple times, including in the upper body, and was rushed to Reston Hospital. He is now reported to be in stable condition following surgery.
Authorities have identified 25-year-old Mohamed Abdalla as a suspect in the shooting. Police have released an image of Abdalla and are asking for the public’s help in locating him.
According to the department, one officer was patrolling the area when he heard multiple gunshots coming from the shopping center.
As the officer rushed to the scene, he saw a car speeding away from the area and attempted to follow the vehicle on the Dulles Toll Road. However, the officer lost sight of the car.
Meanwhile, other officers responded to the scene and found the victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Several stores and restaurants in the area were open at the time, and many nearby residents and business owners were shocked by the crime.
Amit Patel, the owner of Uncle Jalapeno Mexican Grill and Bar, expressed his concern over the shooting in what is typically seen as a safe and busy area.
“Scary, this place is the hub of Herndon next to Dulles Airport,” Patel said. “It was strange that this happened last night.”
Witnesses who live nearby also voiced their concerns, with some noting the recent rise in crime in the area.
“It’s crazy to hear that. Hopefully, it never happens again,” said Ken Huang, a local resident. “It’s pretty sad that stuff like that is going on in my neighborhood,” added Jeyson Garcia. “The crime has been going up, and I just hope to see it change.”
As of now, police are still working to determine if the victim and suspect were acquainted or if the shooting was random.
Anyone with information on Mohamed Abdalla’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Herndon Police Department.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Four new trollies will join the VB Wave Trolley fleet beginning May 10, when Virginia Beach Wave Trolley will resume its seasonal service along the oceanfront.
Trolley season lasts through September 25-27 for the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival.
A total of 14 new trollies will be part of the fleet this year, gradually replacing the older versions. The 29-foot trolley replica buses seat 29 people and feature wooden seats, with “sky-blue and sand-colored brown exterior,” according to Hampton Roads Transit (HRTS). Last year, 281,507 riders used the trolley system.
“This year marks the 42nd season of the VB Wave trolley, and these new trollies will provide a comfortable, safe, and efficient ride for visitors and locals alike,” William E. Harrell said. He is the president and CEO of HRT. “As part of our partnership with the city of Virginia Beach, the VB Wave makes it easy for everyone to visit attractions and explore the Oceanfront and beyond without the hassles of parking or the high cost of gas,” Harrell said.
The following routes will operate May 10 through Sept. 27 for the Neptune Festival:
Route 30 is the Atlantic Avenue Trolley, running along the Oceanfront between JT’s Grommet Island Park to Fortieth Street. This service operates daily from 8 a.m.- 2 a.m.
Route 31 is the aquarium and campground trolley along General Booth Boulevard. It runs daily from 9:30 a.m.-11:10 p.m. through Labor Day and again on Fridays through Sundays from Sept. 11 through Sept. 27. Route 31 also extends to Atlantic Avenue and 18th Street.
Route 35 is the Bayfront Bus, providing service between Parks Avenue and 19th Street and Shore Drive and Pleasure House Road, enabling customers to visit Chesapeake Bay beaches, First Landing State Park, and Bayfront restaurants. It operates daily from 8 a.m.-12:30 a.m. through Labor Day and then Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only from Sept. 11 through the Sept. 27 festival
The VB Wave trolley connects to HRT bus lines, Routes 20 and 960, with access to the Newtown Road Light Rail Station and the Downtown Norfolk Transit Center.
Fares are $2 one way or $4.50 for an all-day pass. Kids 17 and under ride free with a paying adult. Riders can pay for tickets using HRT’s GoMobile app and a credit card. Riders can create and manage multiple virtual cards and reload value for easy group boarding, and need to have a unique scannable virtual card for boarding. Children are not required to scan a virtual card or pay fare when boarding with an adult.
Customers can also tap to pay using credit and debit cards. KOA Campground, Virginia Gift Shop, nine Sunsations locations, and Ocean Wave Gift Shop sell tickets. Riders can also pay with exact change cash onboard the trolley.
In addition, HRT is introducing a new route in Virginia Beach beginning May 10. The new Route 981 will connect the Amazon Fulfillment Center (ORF 4) at 1795 Dam Neck Road with the Downtown Norfolk Transit Center.
Route 33 service is being restored to Atlantic Avenue and 68th Street 365 days a year to support the oceanfront hospitality industry.
