FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WRIC) — Fredericksburg police are investigating after a man was found shot to death inside his apartment this morning.
According to a release from Fredericksburg police, 25-year-old Tesean Jemel Dorsey died from an apparent single gunshot wound to the head – possibly while he was sleeping.
The homicide occurred at the Fall Hill Apartments. Police responded to multiple reports of shots fired in the area at around 4:25 a.m. Officers there found two bullet holes near the top of a staircase. Residents of the upstairs apartment nearest to scene of the gunfire both denied any knowledge of the incident, or any problems inside the apartment.
Later this morning, at roughly 8 a.m., an officer was searching for additional evidence when he was approached by one of the same residents of the upstairs apartment who said he had just found one of his housemates dead inside a bedroom.
The investigation is ongoing as detectives are gathering evidence and interviewing potential witnesses. Anyone with information is asked to call the Fredericksburg Police Department at (540) 373-3122.
