Alexandria Police Department Peacefully Resolves Barricade
Incident On Kenmore Avenue

For Immediate Release: June 25, 2021

The Alexandria Police Department peacefully resolved a barricade incident in
the 4700 block of Kenmore Avenue.

At approximately 9:30 a.m. on June 24, 2021, Alexandria
Police officers attempted to serve a warrant for failure to appear in court from
Arlington County on 34-year-old Hamzeh Abdelmajid Abushariah in an apartment in
the 4700 block of Kenmore Avenue. Abushariah
did not comply, leading to the barricade incident.

Officers were able to enter the apartment
around 3:00 p.m. and took Abushariah into custody without incident. Residents were then allowed back in the
building.

Questions about the
Arlington County warrant for Hamzeh Abdelmajid Abushariah should be directed to
Captain Juan Gelabert at the Arlington County Sheriff’s Office.
