He is in custody at Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail at this time.


First report: Wednesday, 9:07 p.m. Albemarle County Police are trying to track down a suspect in a shooting reported Tuesday night in the 1100 block of Pine Haven Court.

Anthony L. Lee Sr., 53, is being sought in connection with a domestic incident that was reported to police at 9 p.m. Tuesday, according to the ACPD.

Officers were originally dispatched to the scene for the report of a larceny. Reportedly, Lee’s wife reported that her husband had taken her firearm and refused to return it.

Lee is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately.

Lee is described as a 53-year-old Black male with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately 5’11” tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds. He was last seen wearing a red hoodie.

The investigation into this incident is ongoing.
