Loved ones of Tesean Dorsey are mourning the 25-year-old after he was killed by a stray bullet in Fredericksburg early Saturday, as he slept. “What a tragedy for the entire community,” family friend Georgette Agnew said. News4’s Darcy Spencer reports.
Tesean Dorsey had just celebrated his 25th birthday with friends and gone to sleep when he was hit and killed by a stray bullet.
Dorsey, 25, is being mourned after he was killed in Fredericksburg early Saturday.
"The family really wants everyone to know he was an outstanding young man, he was an awesome brother, he would do anything for everybody," family friend Georgette Agnew said.
Dorsey was sleeping on an air mattress in the Fall Hill complex when neighbors were startled by gunshots about 4:20 a.m. Saturday.
Officers responded to the building and spoke with residents, and were told everyone was OK. Police returned about 8 a.m. when another resident found a shell casing in a stairwell. Then, Dorsey's friends told officers they had found the man dead, with a single gunshot to the head.
Dorsey's mother moved the family from Maryland to Fredericksburg in search of a safe community, Agnew said.
"What a tragedy for the entire community," she said.
