We do believe Monday’s response is directly connected with [Wednesday’s] tragedy, and that vehicle is associated with the double homicide,” Maj. Ed O’Carroll, bureau chief of Major Crimes Cyber and Forensics for Fairfax County police, said. WTOP reported. “I think there’s a direct correlation, to who was there Monday was there [on Wednesday].”
The McDaniel’s son was not identity and his connection with Strand and Marshall was not explained either.
However, it was reported on Wednesday that two people inside were reported to be unharmed when the incident occurred.
First responders found two people inside the home who were physically unharmed.
Investigators are still looking into the matter.
“We’re very interested in knowing the exact nature of the dispute, so we’re working really hard to figure out what that is. But as of now the motive is a dispute, we’re working hard to figure out what it was all about, but it harkens back to Monday.”
