Va. man accused of killing couple inside home before fleeing to South Jersey
EVESHAM TWP., New Jersey (WPVI) — A man was arrested in South Jersey on Tuesday after allegedly killing two people inside his Virginia home.
Authorities say he fled to Burlington County after the murders in attempt to locate his family.
Officers were called to a residence on Kelly Drive in Evesham Township around 2 a.m. Sunday.
Police responded to reports of a man standing outside the home, pointing a firearm at the relative. When officers arrived, the suspect had reportedly fled the area.
Investigators say the suspect was identified as a relative, 49-year-old Amandeep Singh, who allegedly traveled to the scene from Prince William County, Virginia.
Singh was looking for his estranged wife, authorities say.
Police later located Singh in Medford Township on Tuesday. He was found in his vehicle and was arrested without incident, according to investigators.
During the arrest, officers say they found Singh with multiple firearms, including a .40 caliber handgun, an AK47 rifle, and four fully loaded high-capacity magazines.
After being taken into custody, Singh was transported to Virtua Hospital Marlton Campus for evaluation and treatment. Authorities said this was unrelated to his arrest and time in police custody.
At the hospital, Singh allegedly assaulted an Evesham officer by kicking him. The officer was uninjured.
Authorities say a welfare check was later issued for Singh’s home in Virginia. There, police reportedly found two people dead inside the residence.
Virginia law enforcement says the double homicide took place Saturday, the day before Singh arrived in Evesham Township.
Authorities identified the victims as 45-year-old Joshua Lee Davis and 45-year-old Nicole Wanda Lynn Davis. Both died from apparent gunshot wounds, according to police.
Investigators say the victims were married and renting the basement living area of the home.
As a result of the investigation, Singh has been charged with crimes in New Jersey and Virginia.
He was charged with murder, aggravated assault with a firearm, aggravated assault on law enforcement, possession of weapons with unlawful purpose, and other related offenses.
An investigation into this incident remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police.

Bill signing aims to bolster horse racing industry in West Virginia
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. (WCHS) — Gov. Patrick Morrisey signaled support for the horse racing industry in West Virginia through a bill signing Monday.
Senate Bill 1060 updates laws to include certified thoroughbred horses and raises a funding cap for restricted races from $1 million to $2 million.
The measure allows horses that have lived in West Virginia for six months to compete for larger purses. State leaders are hopeful the move will incentivize out-of-state horse owners to relocate to West Virginia.
In addition, the bill would allow licensed racing associations to transmit broadcasts of races with a portion of wagers going toward the West Virginia Thoroughbred Development Fund.
Changes will go into effect on June 7.

Currently, horse races are held in West Virginia’s panhandles, at the Mountaineer Racetrack and Resort in New Cumberland and the Hollywood Casino in Charles Town.

Gas prices dip slightly in Virginia, but relief may not last
LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Gas prices in Virginia are easing slightly, but any relief at the pump may be short-lived.
AAA reports the state average is now $4.01 per gallon, down about four cents from last week. Despite the dip, prices remain significantly higher when compared to recent months, up roughly 65 cents from a month ago and nearly a dollar more than this time last year.
The national average is also elevated, sitting at $4.12 per gallon.
Experts say the primary driver behind the sustained increase is the rising cost of crude oil, fueled in part by ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
Even if those pressures begin to ease, analysts warn that drivers should not expect immediate relief.
“The old adage is about gas prices going up they go up like a rocket and then come down like a feather. So they tend to go up very fast in geopolitical crisis like this, but they come down much much slower. So we’re watching and waiting to see what happens there in the Middle East,” said Morgan Dean, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA.
For now, the outlook remains uncertain as global events continue to influence what drivers are paying at the pump.
