Ruth Anderson will hold a special town hall meeting tonight in the wake of two murders in her Occoquan Magisterial District.

Anderson said the deaths of 37-year-old Erica Hickson whose body was found Friday, and 36-year-old Lizeth Lopez whose body was found April 29, have been difficult for area residents to understand. 


From Prince William police: 

Armed Robberies On August 7, officers and detectives with the Robbery Unit responded to investigate three separate robberies which occurred between 12:37AM and 2:06AM at 7-Eleven stores located at 14820 Cloverdale Dr, 15052 Cardinal Dr, and 1701 Featherstone Rd in the Woodbridge area. In each incident, employees reported to police that two unknown men entered the store brandishing a firearm and a silver bat. During the encounter, the suspects demanded money and cigarettes before fleeing the area possibly in a dark SUV or van. No injuries were reported. The investigation continues.


**CORRECTION**

The name of the program involved in this investigation is ‘Youth Quest Independent Living’. This is a private program operated under ‘Intercept Youth Services’ based in Richmond, VA. The press release issued previously identified this program as a non-profit which has not been confirmed as accurate. We apologize for the confusion.


From Prince William police:
