Man Charged in Deadly Gas Station Attack

WASHINGTON — A man has been charged in the killing of a gas station clerk in Virginia early Saturday morning.

The attack happened at around 1:30 a.m. at the Sunoco gas station on Jefferson Davis Highway, near Interstate 95.

The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office said David Washington was identified on security footage hanging around the store, chatting with the clerk for a few minutes before pulling out a two-by-two and attacking the clerk.

The sheriff’s office said Washington took cash from the register and fled, leaving the clerk to die.

Washington was apprehended at an apartment complex in Fredericksburg, Virginia later Saturday.

The sheriff’s office said Sunday that he was being charged with first-degree murder, robbery and grand larceny.
