The man was shot and his passenger injured while trying to repair their broken-down car shortly after 3 a.m.
The driver of the vehicle, 23-year-old Jose Cabellero, of Greenbelt, Md., pulled over after having car trouble and got out to work on it. During that time, a second car pulled up. A man stepped out, approached the driver with a gun and demanded money, police said.
A second person got out of the car, approached the 43-year-old female passenger in the broken-down vehicle, and also demanded money.
While both the driver and his passenger struggled with their assailants, the male victim was shot once in the upper body and the female was struck in the head with a hard object, according to police. Both victims were transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
