Charlottesville shooting suspect surrenders

City police said Travis William Herndon, 25, turned himself in shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday. He was arrested and charged without incident, police said.

Charlottesville officers were dispatched to a reported shooting in the 1300 block of Carlton Avenue at 12:06 a.m. Thursday.

“At the scene, officers found a victim, an 18-year-old woman, with a gunshot wound to the upper body in a vehicle that had struck a trailer,” police said in a statement released later in the day. “She was transported to the University of Virginia Medical Center where she is in stable condition with serious injuries.”

Evidence suggests the shooting was targeted, police said shortly after assessing the scene.

Herndon was charged with intentional wounding, intentional wounding, attempted intentional wounding, malicious shooting into an occupied vehicle and possession of a firearm by a violent felon.

He remains in custody at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.

Charlottesville police have reported a sudden increase in gun violence in the city over the past week.

Thursday's shooting on Carlton Avenue was one of five shootings reported in a matter of days in the area. The other shots caused no injuries, but damaged property, police said.
