Police Chief Peter Newsham says Prince William County's crime report is due next week, and it's "not good news."

Crime in Virginia's second-largest jurisdiction is up over last year, with a crime rate of about 37 crimes to every 1,000 people, approaching a high not seen since 2009, Newsham told PLN. Police investigated 20 homicides in the county in 2022, double the number of murders in 2021.

In one incident, four people were shot and killed inside a home in Dale City. David Nathaniel Maine, the suspect who had a relationship with a family member of the victims, heads for a preliminary hearing in General District Court on April 14, 2023.
