A Manassas, Virginia, man has been arrested and charged in connection to the fatal stabbing of his mother Monday morning.

Prince William County police have charged 24-year-old Darrion Hunter Wilds with murder and stabbing in commission of a felony in connection to the death of his mother, 48-year-old Jennifer Nicole Marshall.

According to authorities, the two were involved in a domestic dispute that took place at an apartment in the 9800 block of Shallow Creek Loop in Manassas. A bystander reported seeing an injured woman outside the complex.
