CHARLOTTESVILLE -- Police are investigating at least five additional shootings in western Albemarle County to determine if they may be related to last week's incidents that included shots fired at, and striking, five vehicles on Interstate 64.
Slade A. Woodson, 19, of the Afton area was arrested last week and charged in connection with the interstate shootings, as was a 16-year-old Crozet boy.
Police did not release the locations of the five most recently reported incidents, but indicated they do not, at this time, expect to file any charges connected to them.
On Monday, five additional felony charges were filed against the two suspects in connection with three other incidents in Albemarle. Those incidents occurred in the 800 block of Dry Bridge Road, the 7000 block of Greenwood Station Road and the 900 block of Miller School Road. The charges include two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling and three counts of shooting from a vehicle, creating the risk of injury or death to another.
Woodson faces 17 charges stemming from the night of shootings, and the juvenile faces 15 charges. The charges included eight felonies in connection with shots fired off the state Route 690 overpass over I-64, two felonies from shots fired at the interstate's Ivy exit and the five felonies most recently filed. In addition, Woodson faces two charges in connection with shots fired at a credit union and a home in Waynesboro.
Woodson, who is being held at the Middle River Regional Jail in Verona, didn't receive bond Tuesday but requested a court-appointed attorney. The juvenile is being held at the Blue Ridge Detention Center in Albemarle, pending an upcoming hearing.
