New details emerge about man
suspected of killing his mother and nephew in Burke
by Tim Barber/ABC7
BURKE, Va. (WJLA) — A neighbor’s
cell phone recorded the gunshots that were fired on the scene of a stand-off in
Burke Monday night.
When Fairfax County Police got
inside the home along the 6100 block of Wicklow Drive, they found Marcellus
William Bounds IV had shot and killed his 67-year old mother Patricia Bounds
and his 19-year old nephew Sean Bailes. Bailes briefly attended Robinson
Secondary School and Northern Virginia Community College.
Police found the shooter dead inside
the home with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Bounds’ other nephew escaped the
Burke home before the shooting. Other family members did not want to talk, so
we could not find out who is taking care of the surviving nephew.
A medical examiner will determine if
Bounds shot and killed himself or if he was shot and killed by police.
ABC7 could not find a criminal
history in Fairfax County, but 10 years ago in St. Johns County, Florida,
Bounds was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer (a 3rd degree
felony) and using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol (a 2nd degree
misdemeanor).
