MIDDLEBURG â A women from Richmond, Virginia, found alongside an Interstate 85 ramp suffered apparent gunshot wounds and died, and a man from Richmond will be charged with first-degree murder in connection with the case.
Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame said deputies were called to the scene â the Exit 220 northbound on-ramp, near a Mobil gas station â at about 3:26 p.m. on Thursday.
The initial reports they received indicated the woman, Cierra Jackson, had possible stab wounds. But she had ânumerous apparent gunshot wounds to the body.â Emergency responders performed CPR, but she was pronounced dead at the scene, Brame said.
Authorities received a description of a vehicle and possible suspect, and passed it along to other law-enforcement agencies in North Carolina and Virginia via a be-on-the-lookout advisory.
HENDERSON â Vance County sheriffâs deputies are investigating the death of a 73-year-old man in a home just outside Henderson âas a homicide,â Sheriff Curtis Brame said.
Deputies are working with the State Bureau of Investigation on the case, which began the afternoon of June 11 after they went to 519 Fields Ave. to check on the welfare of the man, identified as Hiawatha Nicholson.
A relative had called them to the scene, and was with them when they approached the home. No one answered a knock on the door, or responded when deputies called out, Brame said.
They went inside, and in short order found Nicholsonâs body, the sheriff said.
