VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A third person has been arrested in connection with a December shooting on Lynnhaven Parkway that left a man injured.

As investigators gathered more evidence in this case, they determined there was a third suspect involved who fled the state shortly after the shooting. On January 8, officials obtained warrants on 22-year-old Tyrion Logan of Virginia Beach.

Logan has been charged with use of a firearm in commission of a felony and aggravated malicious wounding. He was arrested in Youngstown, Ohio, on January 14 and will be extradited back to Virginia Beach to face these charges.

There is no mug shot for Logan available at this time.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was in his vehicle on Lynnhaven Parkway on December 3, 2020, when he was shot. He was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. As of January 21, there is no update on his condition.

Police believe that the suspects and victim did not known each other, and they don't believe this incident was a random act of violence.

The next day, two arrests were made in connection with this crime.

22-year-old E'ze Anyanwu Pritchard, of Virginia Beach, was arrested and charged with multiple firearm violations to include; use of a firearm in commission of a felony, felonious assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
