Naked Man Beat His Father To Death In Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A naked 19-year-old man beat his father to death in Woodbridge on Monday morning, the Prince William County Police Department said.

Authorities identified the victim as 51-year-old Juan Pina-Recendiz. He was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt force trauma, the police department said.

Police officers arrested the suspect, 19-year-old Juan Pina-Ortiz, at the scene of the assault. He is charged with murder, assault and battery on a law enforcement officer, and domestic assault and battery.

Pina-Ortiz is being held without bond at the Prince William County Adult Detention Center. His court date is pending.

Pina-Ortiz suffered minor injuries when he was bitten by a police dog. He was treated at an area hospital and released into police custody.

Around 1:30 a.m. on Monday, authorities received a call about Pina-Ortiz destroying property inside a home on Shannon Court in Woodbridge.

When police officers arrived at the home, they saw a naked Pina-Ortiz assaulting his father, according to the police report.

"Officers challenged the accused who initially ignored commands and continued to assault his father before briefly retreating further into the home," the police department said. "At one point, the accused reemerged and exited the residence where he advanced toward officers in an agitated state and grabbed the vest of a K-9 officer."

Officers released the police dog, who bit Pina-Ortiz. He was then taken into custody. The police officer did not report any injuries.

During their investigation, authorities noted that Pina-Ortiz assaulted another family member before fatally attacking his father.
