Suspects in two separate shootings in recent months have been located, said Major David Wells of the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office).
Rolling Road
Brando C. Carter is being held at the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail on charges stemming from an Aug. 28 shooting on Rolling Road South near Dixie.
The victim, who has not been named, is recovering from multiple gunshot wounds and has been cooperating with investigators.
“Evidence appears to confirm this was a targeted act of violence between individuals who knew each other, not a carjacking as initially reported,” said Wells.
Lake Monticello
The woman sought in connection with a shooting victim found at Lake Monticello last month has also been located.
Wells said Shirley Marie Brown of Palmyra is cooperating with investigators.
Aloys Hopfensperger of Palmyra remains hospitalized after being found near the main gate at Lake Monticello at around 2 a.m. on Sept. 15.
“There is no indication of an ongoing threat to public safety related to this incident,” he said.
Tips
Both cases remain under investigation, and Wells encouraged the public to reach out with any information on either case, no matter how minor it may seem.
