A suspect is in custody in Stafford on murder charges following a domestic disturbance call Monday morning on Thomas Jefferson Place.
At 8:07 a.m., deputies responded to the 1200 block of Thomas Jefferson Place for a domestic dispute. Family members had fled the home and called 911 to report two brothers fighting. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the front door of the townhome was open, but no one would follow their repeated instructions to come to the front door. Deputies also observed a significant amount of blood throughout the room.
A robot and deputies with a shield conducted a search of the home to check for anyone in need of medical attention. Richard Hall, 36, was discovered in an upstairs bedroom with significant trauma and stab wounds to his upper body. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
34-year old Brian Hall, the brother of the victim, was located in another room of the home and taken into custody without incident. Following an investigation by Detective K.W. McBride, Brian Hall has been charged with second degree murder. He has been held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
