From the Stafford Sheriff’s Office:

On February 21st at 2:42 p.m. deputies responded to 205 Garrison Woods Drive for a shooting. The victim, 25-year-old Christopher McDuffie, had been shot several times and succumbed to his wounds at the hospital a short time later.

Deputies and detectives worked through the night interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence. Detective N.D. Ridings was assigned as the lead investigator and identified 22-year old Tarik Shiggs of Stafford as the murder suspect. Warrants for murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony were obtained.

Detectives learned Shiggs had fled the area and was currently in South Carolina. Our office worked closely with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Fugitive Team and the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office to locate Shiggs.

On February 25th South Carolina authorities located Shiggs and took him into custody. He is being held at the Sumter County Detention Center until he can be extradited back to Stafford County.
