Early Friday, July 21, around 3:43 a.m., officers responded to the intersection of Leesburg Pike and Downey Drive in Great Falls for a pedestrian who was struck by a vehicle. The driver of the vehicle initially left the scene but returned shortly after.
Preliminarily, detectives determined that Giomarie Davila-Ocasio, 26, of Reston, entered the roadway in the westbound lanes of Leesburg Pike. The driver of a 2016 Ford Explorer was traveling west on Leesburg Pike near the intersection and struck Davila-Ocasio. Davila-Ocasio was declared deceased at the scene.
