Attempted Malicious Wounding –

January 5 at 9:22PM, officers responded to an apartment located in the 7500 block of Margate Court in Manassas (20109) to investigate a domestic with weapons.

The victim, a 32-year-old man, reported to police that he and the accused, a family member, were involved in a verbal altercation that escalated. During the encounter, the accused brandished a handgun and pointed it towards victim.

A struggle ensued and the victim sustained a minor injury to his hand. The parties eventually separated and the victim fled the home before contacting police. When officers arrived, attempts were made to contact the accused who was still believed to be inside the residence.

Due to the possibility of the accused being armed, tactical units responded to the residence and eventually determined the accused was no longer inside.

Following the investigation, officers obtained an arrest warrant for the accused, identified as Michael Spencer Wilson. Attempts to locate the accused were unsuccessful.
