On Sunday, November 16, 2025, at approximately 1:20 a.m., the Fredericksburg E-911 Center received a report of shots fired in the 1100 block of Fleetwood Court.
Upon officers’ arrival, Sean Favors and the reporting party’s brother had been involved in a physical altercation outside the residence. Sean Favors was then seen running back into his apartment and waited for the brother to return. He shot his firearm into a group of four people intentionally as they were walking back into the apartment complex. The reporting party then observed two individuals, including the suspect, enter a vehicle parked in front of the leasing office and flee towards Lafayette Boulevard.
A patrol officer initiated a traffic stop of the above vehicle, during which two persons fled on foot. Officer DeCilles and K9 Roxy initiated a track and located one of the occupants, a juvenile, hiding in a dumpster. The juvenile was confirmed to have fled from the vehicle. The juvenile is related to the suspect and was placed in protective custody following the incident. A search of the vehicle led to a firearm being recovered. Sean Favors was arrested without incident at his apartment complex the same day.
Sean Favors, 31, of Fredericksburg, is being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail with no bond and facing charges of:
◾Attempted – Murder Second Degree
◾Weapons - Discharge Firearm, missile in/at occupied building, maliciously
