Police have charged 31-year-old Brandon Curtis Hampton Henry with stabbing two people, one fatally, during a gathering in Dale City late Wednesday.
Police were called to the 15000 block of Cloverdale Road around 11:45 p.m. for a stabbing and found one victim in the front yard of a house with a stab wound to the chest.
Alvin Elroy Cannon, 44, of Dale City, was taken to the hospital, where he died.
During the investigation, a 33-year-old Manassas man, also suffering stab wounds to the upper body, approached police. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathon Perok.
Detectives were able to identify Henry as a suspect and eventually found him at a house in the 14400 block of Fillarette Street.
Henry, of no fixed address, was charged with murder and aggravated malicious wounding, Perok said. He is being held without bond.
Perok said the stabbing was not random and stemmed from a dispute during a gathering at a house on Cloverdale Road.
The incident is Prince William County's third murder of the year. In May, a 19-year-old Woodbridge man was charged with stabbing to death a 22-year-old Dumfries man in an argument on the victim's front porch.
And detectives are still trying to find the three men who shot and killed a young mother working at Platanillo's Grocery in Woodbridge earlier this year.
Brandon Curtis Hampton Henry, 31, of no fixed address is charged with murder and malicious wounding in a July 10 incident in Dale City.
