(Spotsylvania)- From the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office:

Sheriff Harris would like to announce that on March 20, 2017, The Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office along with the Spotsylvania Commonwealth Attorney’s Office presented the case to a Grand Jury. As a result of the testimony presented, Joshua Christopher Williams (29) of Spotsylvania, VA has been formally indicted for First Degree Murder, Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder and Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony. Jonathan Julian Vejarano (28) of Spotsylvania, VA was also charged with First Degree Murder, Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder, Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Both individuals are currently incarcerated at local regional jails.

This stemmed from the original incident on December 06, 2015 where the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a home owner, who reported a suspicious vehicle parked at the end of their driveway. Patrol Units responded to the 10300 block of Piney Branch Rd. and located a Silver four door car parked in the caller’s driveway, near the state maintained road. Inside the vehicle, Deputies discovered a 21 year old female, later identified as Heather Ciccone, of Spotsylvania. She was deceased from severe trauma to the upper body. .

For the past fifteen months Detectives have worked hard with the assistance of the several local jurisdictions to bring the case before a grand jury.

Since this is an ongoing investigation, we will not be discussing evidence presented to the Grand Jury. Sheriff Roger Harris would like to personally recognize the dedication and persistence of the investigative team that brought us to today. He would like to also thank the following agencies for their valuable assistance and resources during this lengthy investigation.

1. Spotsylvania Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office
