FCPD Detectives from the Mount Vernon Police District arrested a 17-year-old suspect in a fatal shooting in a Woodlawn parking lot on Friday, Sept. 1.

At 8:29 p.m. Sept. 1, 2023, officers responded to a report of a shot person in the 8700 block of Sacramento Drive. Joshua Fieldings, 25, was found with a gunshot wound to the upper body. The man was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
