The nightclub parking lot has been the scene of two homicides and at least one other shooting in the past year.
On Jan. 23, a 27-year-old man was shot in an altercation outside the Babylon Café at about 9:25 p.m. that night. James Lawrence Gregory, 34, of Dumfries, was arrested March 19 by the U.S. Marshal’s fugitive task force in connection with the shooting, police said.
The victim survived the gunshot wounds, but police have not released details about the extent of his injuries.
Last Christmas Eve, police were called to the club to investigate shots fired from a truck in the parking lot. At the time, a restaurant employee told police he observed a person fire a round into the air before driving away in a large white truck.
There were no injuries in that incident, but the suspect's truck hit an unoccupied vehicle in the parking lot as it left the parking lot, police said.
On July 24, 2020, Charlie Davis III, 28, of Dumfries, was killed in a stabbing outside the club. Police have since arrested and charged a Woodbridge man in connection with that incident.
