Man charged in shooting outside fire house
Rodney Stephan Conyers
Police have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with a shooting outside a Woodbridge fire station last month.
Rodney Stephan Conyers is charged with shooting at an occupied vehicle and use of a firearm in commission of a felony in connection with the May 5 incident, police said.
Security camera footage from the Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department station on Montgomery Avenue shows someone firing a gun from a car window about 11 a.m. that morning.
No one was injured, but neighbors were scared since the shooting happened in front of a retirement community on a street lined with single family homes.
After gunshots rang out, witnesses said they saw two cars speed off, said Prince William police spokeswoman Erika Hernandez.
Last week, police obtained arrest warrants charging Conyers in connection with the case.
Conyers, of Old Landing Way in Woodbridge, turned himself in to police and was later released on a $10,000 bond, said Hernandez.
Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud between Conyers and another man, a 21-year-old Woodbridge resident.
Hernandez said the 21-year-old was a passenger in a car fired on that morning.

No the Hatfields and McCoys feuded, these are just worthless gangbangers. 10,000 bond means he only had to post 1000 bucks, That’s just one or two muggings to recoup the cost. Worthless absolutely worthless idiots.
Lock him up…..throw away the key!
Finally a follow-up story. The first article was very unclear whether he was trying to shoot up a fire station or if this was run of the mill “thug life”. Yup, just another confused wannabe gangster.
What? This guy had prior felonies and run-ins with the law!!! What a shocker! Who would have ever thought.
