The individual alleged to have ambushed and murdered a Fredericksburg woman last Wednesday was previously arrested while being served with a preliminary protective order exactly a month prior, according to court records.
Neither the gunman or victim in June 3rd’s pursuit, shooting and crash have been identified by law enforcement.
Documents show that last month on May 3rd, a 28-year old male was charged with felony carrying a concealed weapon (2nd offense) and misdemeanor public intoxication. According to the criminal complaint, that arrest was made while that individual was being served with a preliminary protective order at an address in the Riverwood Apartment complex.
The petitioner, nature and duration of that protective order has not yet been determined. In Virginia, a preliminary protective order lasts either 15 days or until the next full hearing.
On a form titled "Checklist for Bail Determinations," a field prompts if the individual in question is "...likely to threaten, injure or intimidate a prospective witness, juror, victim or family or household member...".
That box is checked "no."
The alleged gunman's bond was set at $1,500 by a local magistrate, according to the commitment order.
During that May arrest, the individual admitted to possessing a firearm and stated that they did not have a concealed carry permit, documents state.
That same criminal complaint states the individual was previously arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in December of 2016.
In addition to that weapons offense, court records from Spotsylvania County General District Court show the same individual also faced charges of shooting in a public place (without injury) and reckless handling of a firearm, both stemming from that same December 2016 date.
All three of those December 2016 charges were misdemeanors.
That individual was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 80 of them suspended, court records state.
hyperbole spoke with two sources familiar with both the victim and the alleged gunman in last week's attack. Both stated that in recent months the victim had frequently expressed concerns about being harmed at the hands of her child's estranged father.
One of those sources says in the days following his May arrest, the alleged gunman sent several inquiries to acquaintances via text message about acquiring another firearm after his was seized by police.
That source also states that the victim was alleged to have spent the weeks preceding last Wednesday's attack at her mother's house over safety concerns.
This story is developing and will continue to be updated with details as they become available.
