Leesburg, VA (October 28, 2026) – The Leesburg Police Department (LPD) has arrested and charged a Leesburg man in connection with an October 17 shooting incident in the 500 block of East Market Street.
Trevon M. Taylor, 29, of Leesburg, was arrested on October 28, 2026, and charged with discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school, felony property damage, and reckless handling of a firearm.
On October 17, 2026, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Taylor contacted law enforcement to report that he had been physically assaulted by multiple individuals during an altercation that occurred between approximately 3 and 5 a.m. in the 500 block of East Market Street. Taylor initially claimed that he had discharged a firearm in self-defense during the altercation.
However, the subsequent investigation determined that Taylor left the scene following the altercation and returned to the parking lot a short time later, where he discharged several rounds into an unoccupied vehicle.
The damaged vehicle was no longer at the scene when officers initially responded. On October 19, the LPD was contacted by the vehicle's driver, who reported that the vehicle had been moved to another location. Detectives subsequently located and processed the vehicle as part of the investigation.
No injuries resulting from the firearm discharge were reported.
Following his arrest, Taylor was transported to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held without bond.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Leesburg Police Department at 703-771-4500 or by email at PoliceInvestigations@LeesburgVA.gov.
