Both the Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney and the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation's Fairfax Field Office consulted and decided on Wednesday to additionally serve Davis with one felony count of attempted capital murder of a law enforcement officer, one felony count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one felony count of eluding police.
Police say these charges are in addition to the felony count of abduction served on Davis earlier this month. Davis is being held without bond.
The incident began at 9:40 p.m. on April 5, when a Virginia State Police trooper was alerted to a Jeep Cherokee with the wrong license plates displayed on it. Upon further investigation, the trooper noticed the vehicle was wanted in New York for an alleged abduction of a woman earlier in the day.
The Jeep was headed south on I-95, near exit 167 in Fairfax County, when a trooper pulled over the driver for a traffic stop. After the trooper identified the driver as the wanted abduction suspect, a 34-year-old from North Chesterfield, Virginia, they approached the vehicle, but the driver sped away, leading to a chase.
The chase spanned 20 miles on southbound I-95. The Jeep then crashed near mile marker 152, when it struck the guardrail, but the driver continued southbound on the highway. At exit 140, near Quantico, the SUV ran off the right side of the road and crashed into the woods.
When troopers approached the vehicle, the driver started to shoot at them, according to police. Police returned fire. According to Virginia State Police, the passenger in the car, a woman who was abducted and riding in the Jeep, was pronounced dead at the scene. She has been identified as Tatiana N. David of Ithaca, New York.
David's death was ruled a homicide but police haven't said how she died.
No police were injured in the shooting and two firearms have been recovered from the scene.
