A third man has died of gunshot wounds suffered Friday during a quadruple shooting in a Dale City home. Police released the victims’ identities Monday but have not yet announced an arrest nor a motive for the gunfire.

On Monday, May 29, police identified the three fatalities as Edwin Geovanny Salmon, 37; Luis Alonzo Salgado-Rivas, 41; and Kevin Josue Vallecillo Mendoza, 23, all of Woodbridge, according to Master Police Officer Renee Carr, a Prince William County police spokeswoman.

The police investigation has so far determined that the suspect -- who has neither been identified nor arrested -- opened fire during a gathering inside a home in the 14700 block of Birchdale Avenue at about 2:25 p.m. on Friday, May 26, striking four men. The home is located directly across the street from the Birchdale Park and Community Center in Dale City.
