Virginia police piece together Kevin Quick murder details as 5 arrested
Reserve Virginia police captain Kevin Quick’s body hasn’t been confirmed found, but officials have announced they have charged five in connection with his disappearance and death.
The three arrested Thursday night are Gert Wright, also known as Halisi Uhuru, 22, of Danville; and Leslie Hope Casterlow, 49, and Anthony D. Stokes Jr., 31, both of Manassas.
They are charged with “principal in second degree to the crime of murder,” meaning they have an association with Quick’s death, State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said. said.
“They have not been charged with capital murder, with any murder, at this time,” she said.
Daniel Mathis and his sister, Mersadies Shelton, have been charged with grand larceny in the theft of Quick’s 1999 Toyota 4Runner. A second sister, Shantai Shelton — who has not yet charged directly in Quick’s case — was picked up on an outstanding warrant from Louisa County, east of Charlottesville, where Sunday night’s armed robbery took place, Geller said earlier this week.
The 18-year-old Mathis also was charged with robbery, malicious wounding and a variety of weapons-related charges in connection with the Sunday-night robbery, but no details of that holdup were released.
Geller, from the state police, said investigators “are still piecing together … this network of individuals and determining exactly what role, what acquaintance, what association they may have had with one another.” She emphasized that no one yet has been deemed directly responsible for Quick’s death.
Still, murder charges could be forthcoming — perhaps against someone who hasn’t been arrested yet.
“There are additional charges pending in this,” Geller said. “There may possibly still be additional arrests.”
