'Kind, Loving, Giving:' Families Remember Woodbridge Homicide Victims

WOODBRIDGE, VA — On Monday, four people were killed in the home they shared in Woodbridge. Now, friends and family members are sharing memories of their loved ones and their sorrow, "We were all devastated by their loss," a relative said.

Police identified the victims as Miguel Flores, Kelly Baltazar, Karrie Sotelo, and Richard Julio Jesus Revollar Corrales.

Flores and Baltazar were a married couple who celebrated their wedding earlier this year. Sotelo was Baltazar's daughter; she was a 19-year-old college student. Corrales, nicknamed "Cheo" by his loved ones, was not related to the family, but he lived with them.

David Nathaniel Maine, 24, who also lived with the victims, has been charged with four counts of second degree murder. He was arrested on Monday.

Three GoFundMe campaigns have been set up by the victims' loved ones to cover their funeral expenses. They have raised a combined $19,180 so far from more than 200 donations.

Katherine McKever is Flores's cousin. "They were incredibly kind, loving, and giving," she said about Flores, Sotelo and Baltazar. "Our family is grieving all over the world."

"Miguel and Kelly were beautiful sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers and friends to many," family members wrote on the GoFundMe.

Corrales's family members shared similar sentiments on his GoFundMe.

"Cheo came to the United States from Peru for a better future," Nat Aviles wrote. "Cheo was an amazing son, nephew, cousin, friend, and hard-working man."

Corrales had plenty of passion, and shared it with his loved ones. "He loved to cook Peruvian cuisine, dance, laugh, and spend time with his loved ones," Aviles said. "Man, what an amazing cook and person our Cheo was!"

Karrie Sotelo's cousins spoke with Patch and shared some of their favorite memories. They asked not to be named in this article.

One cousin noted that their memories could only do so much. "I don't have enough to fully encapsulate her greatness, but I can show some of it," they said.

Sotelo was a huge fan of Korean pop music, also known as K-Pop. Another cousin noted that Karrie would memorize dance routines to her favorite songs.

Her appreciation for the genre was contagious. One cousin said they started listening to the band Stray Kids because they were one of Karrie's favorites.

"She introduced me to new music," one of Sotelo's cousins told Patch. "And I was really glad that she did that."

Her cousins described her as kind, open-minded, and smart. She also wasn't too proud to ask for help when she needed it.

Multiple cousins noted that some of their favorite memories of Sotelo revolved around education. Some remembered watching her walk cross the stage at her high school graduation. Another said Sotelo used to come over to their house for distance learning during the pandemic, and they'd do schoolwork together.

"Karrie was a wonderful person who touched the lives of those around her. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend," her GoFundMe says. "At 19 years old, she was young and had her whole future ahead of her."

The families have not publicly announced when funeral services will be held for the victims.
