According to authorities, someone who was inside at the time of the shooting called 911 to report what happened.
Now police believe three men in their 20s, who were seen leaving the complex about 15 minutes after the shooting, have the answers they’re looking for. Fairfax County police shared photos of the suspects, but no arrests have been made.
“Turn yourself in. It’s a matter of time before we know who you are, and it’s a matter of time before you’re in custody," the department's Lt. James Curry said.

Police are still working to determine whether the victim lived in Skyline Towers, and a motive for the murder is unclear.
“It does not appear to be a random act. What led the three individuals to this apartment is still part of our investigation," Curry said.
Police said no one else was hurt in the shooting, and it appears no other apartments were struck by bullets.
Some residents, however, were left shaken by the crime.
“I came downstairs and looked at all the cop cars wondering like what’s going on and everything, [and] just found out the fact that there’s a person killed in his apartment and everything. It’s crazy, I really don’t know," resident Amanuel Cholemo said. “It’s scary as hell.”
