"This was not a random act of violence. Not at all...the shooter or shooters, we strongly believe, are known to a relative of our two victims," according to Davis...Police visited the couple's home Monday for several hours after a "dispute" and burglary report. Authorities believe Wednesday's murders were connected to what happened on Monday.

The suspect is a teenage Black male with a prior mug shot.

My tragic first guess - a friend or a boyfriend of one of their kids.

I tried to paste in the mugshot, but it will not stick.

Their kids would be in their late 30’s or early 40’s these two were 55 and 63 so I highly doubt it had anything to do with their kids!!

The parents of the suspect:

“He’s a good boy! He din du muffin!

Damn autocorrect! Meant ‘nuffin’

“Fairfax County Police have identified the suspect as Ronnie Keandre Marshall.”

“the shooter or shooters, we strongly believe, are known to a relative of our two victims,” according to Davis.”

Sounds like the doctors may have tried being a bit more ‘woke’ beyond what was safe for them.

The article I posted did not mention their age.

My article also says their son was believed to have been in the home when the shooting took place.

Pat, I’d like to buy a MOTIVE and solve the puzzle.

no i think 1 of their kids was 20. I was a very young mom, so having a baby at 43 seems nuts to me. JMHO.

Happens all the time.

Pat, I’d like to buy a MOTIVE and solve the puzzle.

A married pair of highly decorated Army colonels — one a former White House nurse — were gunned down in their front yard in Virginia during a dispute with two young men, cops say.

Suspected killers D’Angelo Strand, 19, and Ronnie Keandre Marshall, 20, were apparently after the couple’s son when they executed Dr. Edward McDaniel Jr., 55, and his nurse wife, Brenda McDaniel, 63, in the Fairfax County suburb of Springfield around 9:20 a.m. Wednesday, authorities said

“Two pillars of our community — of our country, really — were gunned down viciously in their own front yard,” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said at a press conference Thursday.

“Two full colonels were murdered in a residential neighborhood community. And for what? That’s what got us shaking our heads.”

Ronnie Keandre Marshall (right) and D’Angelo Strand (left). D’Angelo Strand (left) and Ronnie Keandre Marshall Fairfax County PD Davis said the suspects worked with a relative of the couple and that the motive for the slayings involved some kind of “dispute.”

On Monday, two days before the heinous crime, Brenda McDaniel apparently called 911 to report a “burglary’’ and told the dispatcher that “the subject is after her son and that [the son] is with them upstairs,’’ NBC-TV reported.

The female caller said she and her husband had a shotgun and that the “subject’’ was in the basement, the outlet said.

A 55yowith a kid in his 40s? Nah. God I hope not.

The average is a 30-yr gap.

Two POS!
Kill hard working military personnel.
The US is totally screwed

Happens all the time.

Do you mean that people jump to conclusions all the time because one of the perps' mugshots shows he is black ?

I recall a thread where poster(s) invoked the Coulter rule about the mass shooter in San Jose, supposedly he could not be white because the media did not post his racial identity as soon as they knew who he was ...

he was white.

Having a child at 43 is not that unusual among professional people or sections of Scandinavia.

[bdfromlv]

its ok, he just wants to stay with his father for the summer.

I’ll be surprised if ‘wokeness’ wasn’t a major factor.
