Attorneys are missing several key pieces of evidence, and that triggered a delay in the arraignment of 22-year-old John Nathaniel Sherwood.
Sherwood is charged in the murder of his 21-year-old wife Erica Renae Sherwood, of Triangle. She was killed during the early morning hours of New Year’s Day and leaves behind two children.
An autopsy examination of the victim, as well as other evidence, has not yet been released by a county crime lab, according to a prosecutor in the case.
Sherwood’s attorney Jennifer Zary said her client did not have a statement at this time.
Sherwood is now expected to appear in court at 9 a.m. April 2.
Police said Sherwood visited the victim’s home in the 15100 block of Concord Drive in Dale City about 1:30 a.m. Jan. 1. An argument ensued, and Sherwood was seen chasing the victim inside of her home where he stabbed her multiple times, according to police.
Sherwood fled the scene in a car and was later stopped by a Virginia State Police trooper near a rest area on Interstate 95 at Dale City. Sherwood got out of the vehicle and took off running into the woods but was later apprehended with the use of K-9 units and a police helicopter.
Sherwood is being inside the Prince William County Adult Detention Center under no bond. The death of Erica Renae Sherwood is the first reported murder in Prince William County in 2015.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
