Manassas Police are actively searching for Marvin Grant, a suspect wanted in connection with a workplace shooting that left three employees in critical condition. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning, September 30, 2026, at the United Rentals facility located at 9415 Wellington Road in Manassas, Virginia. Police Chief Doug Keen confirmed that officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting an active shooter at approximately 7 a.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered three male victims, all employees of United Rentals, who had been critically wounded by gunfire. Two of the victims were transported to Prince William Medical Center, while the third was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital. Investigators have identified the suspect as Marvin Grant, who is also an employee of the rental company. Grant is believed to have fled the scene in a gray Toyota bearing temporary North Carolina license plates. Authorities state that Grant is no longer in the immediate Northern Virginia area and has likely fled the region. Police have issued alerts to law enforcement agencies across Virginia and are collaborating with state and federal partners to locate him. Chief Keen described the event as workplace violence, theorizing that an altercation preceded the shooting. A handgun was used, and investigators are reviewing internal facility video to determine the sequence of events. The area surrounding Wellington Road between Ashton Avenue and Prince William Street remains closed, and the ramp from Route 28 to Wellington Road is shut down. Nearby schools, including Jennie Dean Elementary, were initially placed on lockdown but have since been released from that status, though some remain under secure conditions. Police are urging the public not to approach Grant if spotted and to call 911 immediately with any information. Grant has a known address in North Carolina, and investigators are working with United Rentals to verify if he maintains a local residence. This is a developing story, and authorities continue to seek the suspect's apprehension.
