Suspect in Cherry/Ridge shooting turns himself in

A suspect wanted in connection with a Tuesday night shooting near the intersection of Ridge Street and Cherry Avenue in Charlottesville has turned himself in to the Charlottesville Police Department.

Corinthian “Zayquan” Brown turned himself in the CPD Thursday afternoon without incident. He is charged with malicious wounding, shooting from a vehicle, maliciously shooting from a vehicle, and use of a firearm during a malicious wounding. An unnamed person was struck and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

“The investigation into this incident is still ongoing,” reads a press release updated Thursday afternoon.

Last week, Charlottesville recorded its first homicide of 2024 with the murder by firearm of Deqwane Brown on April 9. They issued a warrant for a suspect who turned himself in on Monday.

Both Zayquan Brown and Sidney Montecellus Stinnie are now being held at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
