A Manassas man was charged with a double homicide of tenants, following an act of violence against two different individuals, both relatives, living in the home.
Prince William 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 Court in Manassas, Oct. 13.
The investigation revealed Prince William County police received information from New Jersey authorities that a man, later identified as Amandeep Singh, 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 Court in Prince William County.
Prince William 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 as a result of 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 altercation, the accused was armed with a handgun, and held both women against their will inside a bedroom of the residence. At one point, the accused discharged the firearm near both family members, but neither was struck by the round.
However, the accused struck one of the family members while holding the firearm, and placed his hands around the neck of the other family member.
The parties eventually separated, and the two women left the home.
The initial domestic incident was not immediately reported to police.
At some point following the domestic encounter, police believe Singh shot and killed the two victims in the basement, before leaving the home and driving to New Jersey.
While in New Jersey, the accused met with other family members (who were uninvolved in the violent incidents), prompting police in that area to be notified, and the accused to be detained.
Although everyone living in the home on Hanson Grove Court knew each other, police are not aware the two victims had any involvement in the preceding domestic incident that proceeded their fatal shooting.
Following the investigation, detectives obtained arrest warrants for the accused, Amandeep Singh, who remains in custody in Burlington County, N.J., 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.
