Prosecutors allege that Vo shot Ashe at the Falls Church Marriott hotel at 3111 Fairview Park Drive. The police had received a report of gunshots at the hotel at about 1:30 a.m. and found Ashe, of Maryland, near the elevators with gunshot wounds to the upper body. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced deceased.

According to detectives, Ashe had entered a hotel room where Vo was with four others. Police found narcotics in the room. After the shooting, Vo fled and was arrested the next day outside a Giant in Gaithersburg, Md.

Vo was also indicted on two additional weapons charges. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 23.

The commonwealth’s attorney reminds the public that a criminal indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
