From Prince William police:
Double Murder Investigation *ARREST | VICTIMS IDENTIFIED – On October 15, detectives charged a suspect in connection to the killings of a man and woman that was reported to have occurred at a residence located in the 8900 block of Hanson Grove Ct in Manassas (20109) on October 13. The investigation revealed Prince William County police received information from New Jersey authorities that a man, later identified as the accused, was detained in their jurisdiction following an incident at a family member’s home in that area. During their investigation, information was obtained prompting possible concern for residents at the home on Hanson Grove Ct in Prince William County.
Officers arrived at the residence and found a door to the home unsecured. During a safety check of the residence, the two victims were located deceased in the basement from gunshot wounds. The two deceased were reportedly married and renting the basement living area of the home. The additional family members known to reside with the accused at the home were located and found to be safe. While investigating the incident, detectives learned of a domestic altercation that occurred on October 12 between the accused and two of the family members, a 50-year-old woman and a 53-year-old woman. During that previous altercation, the accused was armed with a handgun, holding both women against their will inside a bedroom of the residence.
At one point, the accused discharged the firearm near both family members. Neither family member was struck by the round. Additionally, the accused struck one of the family members while holding the firearm before placing his hands around the neck of the other family member. The parties eventually separated, and the other family members left the home. The initial domestic incident was not immediately reported to police. At some point following the domestic encounter, the accused shot and killed the two victims in the basement before leaving the home and driving to New Jersey in an attempt to locate his family.
While in New Jersey, the accused encountered other uninvolved family members prompting police in that area to be notified, and the accused to be detained. Although, the two deceased victims were known to the other family residing on the upper level of the residence, including the accused, currently, there is no known connection or involvement of the two deceased in the incidents preceding the fatal shootings.
Following the investigation, detectives obtained arrest warrants for the accused, identified as Amandeep SINGH, who remains in custody in Burlington County, New Jersey pending extradition. Detectives are continuing to investigate all incidents involving the accused and to determine what led up to the fatal shooting of the two victims. Detectives are seeking to speak with anyone who has information to aid in the investigation.
Prince William County police would like to thank the Evesham Township Police Department and Medford Township Police Department for their assistance in this investigation.

Two Stafford men received felonies after conspiring to rob a co-worker at gunpoint.
On September 23rd at approximately 9:13 p.m. Deputy W.E. Trainor responded to Genesis Logistics, located at 705 Bradburn Place, for a robbery. The victim advised he was just robbed at gunpoint for two pairs of shoes, valued at over $2,000.
Deputy Trainor made contact with the victim to determine what transpired. The victim advised he agreed to meet with a coworker to sell him the shoes. This co-worker, known only as “Turbo,” made contact with the victim, changed his mind on buying the shoes, and instead set up a meeting for someone else to purchase them. Suspect two would make contact with the victim, brandish a firearm, and demand the shoes. Luckily, the victim was able to record part of the robbery which would be helpful in the investigation.
Deputy Trainor was able to identify “Turbo” as Raquan Jones, 23. Deputy X.D. Bates was able to locate Jones in an Uber on Onville Road and conducted a traffic stop. Jones was found to be in possession of two firearms, one of which had no serial number, and one of the stolen pairs of shoes. He was arrested as detectives within the Violent Crimes Unit took over the investigation.
Detective N.D. Ridings spearheaded the investigation and with the help of his fellow detectives, Detective D.V. Torrice, Detective J.T. Lynch, and Detective B.A. Boyle, identified Isaiah Watts, 24, as a person of interest. Using the footage the victim took of the robbery, detectives were able to confirm the robbery suspect and Watts were one in the same. On September 30th Watts was taken into custody.
Jones was charged with possession of stolen goods and the removal of a serial number from a firearm. He was held at Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $5,000 secured bond; however, as the investigation continued, he was additionally charged with conspiracy to commit grand larceny and conspiracy to commit robbery. He was then held without bond. Watts was charged with robbery, conspiracy to use a firearm in commission of a robbery, grand larceny, conspiracy to commit grand larceny, use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Watts was also held without bond.
Outstanding work by not only patrol deputies for their quick response and apprehension of the first suspect, but also to our detectives for their thorough investigation to apprehend the second suspect.
