STAFFORD, Va. (ABC7) – The Stafford County Sheriff's Office, in conjunction with Prince George County, determined that the body of a homicide victim found near River Road in Stafford County on March 9 had been killed in Prince George County, Maryland.
At approximately 4:50 pm, a Stafford County Sheriff's Office representative was driving on River Road when he saw an unknown object in the area between the road and the Rappahannock River.
The MP came out of his vehicle and, after careful inspection, found that the object was the body of a male victim. The victim also observed signs of trauma to the body.
The detectives then released a picture of a distinctive tattoo on the victim's left forearm. Public advice in response to this photo directly helped to identify the victim.
The victim was identified as a 16-year-old Jacson Chicas from Fairfax. During the investigation conducted this week, investigators determined that Chicas had been killed inside a house located in Block 7000 of Varnum St. in Landover Hills, Maryland, before his body was transported to Stafford County.
Police from Prince George County said at a press conference Friday that the Chicas had been stabbed up to 100 times, his body having been burned by the suspects.
The suspects, as well as Chicas, would all be members of the international MS-13 criminal gang.
Authorities arrested and charged: Jose Ordonez-Zometa, 29, of Landover; Jonathan Castillo-Rivera, 20, from Annandale; Kevin Rodriguez-Flores, 18; Christian Martinez-Ramirez of Falls, 16 years old; and Jose Hernandez-Garcia, 25, in connection with the alleged murder of Chicas.
Ordonez-Zometa is in the custody of the Prince George County Penitentiary Department. The other four suspects are in custody in Virginia.
The preliminary investigation reveals that the victim and the suspects are members of an MS-13 clique operating in Fairfax County.
If anyone has any information about this investigation, he is asked to call the detectives at 301-772-4925.
