A man has been arrested and charged in the stabbing and killing of another man outside of a home in Woodbridge, Virginia, on Saturday night, according to police.

In a statement, police in Prince William County said 24-year-old Heriberto Valdez, of Woodbridge, got into a fight with a 33-year-old man outside of a home in the 800 block of Fulton Road that “escalated physically.”

It was then, police said, that Valdez stabbed the victim before chasing him into the backyard, where he collapsed.

Officers who arrived on the property around 10:24 p.m. attempted to revive the man, but were unsuccessful. He was declared dead on the scene.
