Mount Vernon Police District – Detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau are investigating after two people were shot in a residential neighborhood early this morning. Officers initially responded to the 7900 block of Sausalito Place around 2:30 a.m. for a report of a person that was shot and found Kamren Quick, 18, of Alexandria, outside suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Officers removed Quick to a nearby safe area for treatment by members of our Fire and Rescue Department. He was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries that were later determined to be not life threatening. Officers also found Jayden Quick, 20, of Alexandria, dead inside a home from an apparent gunshot wound.
