Teen Charged in Fatal Fairfax County Shooting

An 18-year-old man has been charged with the death of a teen inside a home in the Fairfax County section of Alexandria Monday night.

Fairfax County Police charged Leon Malik Johnson with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of 16-year-old Kevin "Mook" Johnson.

Police say Kevin Johnson died Monday after he was shot inside a home in the 4000 block of Pembrook Village Drive. An injured 14-year-old was found outside the building.

Several people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, and police say everyone in the group knew one another.

The exact circumstances of the shooting have not been made public.

The suspect and the victim are not related, police add.

A man who lives down the street from the shooting told News4 he saw a gun on the ground while taking out the trash. He immediately called the police.

It's unknown if the gun was related to the shooting, but police said the weapon used in the shooting has been recovered.

Johnson was a student at the Bryant School, where grief counselors are on hand to help his classmates.
