Police: Stabbing Victim In Critical Condition

A Woodbridge man is in critical condition in a local hospital after being stabbed early Tuesday in a drug-related incident, the Prince William County police said.

The police did not release the name of the 22-year-old stabbing victim. The two suspects in the case were located and arrested by U.S. marshals Tuesday in Fairfax, according to a Prince William police report.

Both suspects are also from Woodbridge. Alston Xavier Johnson, 21, of 4707 Kentwood Lane, and Maurice Roberto Packwood, 25, of 5251 Quebec Place, are both charged with aggravated malicious wounding and conspiracy to commit a felony, the police report said. Both are being held without bond in the Prince William-Manassas regional jail, and they are scheduled to appear in court on June 17.

According to the report, the police responded at 9:28 a.m. Tuesday to a residence in the 13200 block of Fireside Court in Woodbridge to investigate the stabbing. The victim “was found to be suffering from a significant wound to the lower abdomen,” the report said.

“Further investigation revealed that the incident was drug related,” the report added.

Johnson and Paqckwood are acquainted with the victim. They assaulted him with a knife while he was asleep, then took his money, the police said.

The suspects fled the area Tuesday morning before police arrived, and a Fairfax County police helicopter joined the search for them. A Prince William K-9 unit, or a police officer with a specially trained dog, also searched for the two suspects.

The victim was transported to an area hospital; the police did not release the hospital’s name. Police detectives obtained arrest warrants for the two suspects.
