The two men killed at a Woodbridge bus terminal in June shot each other, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Darnell McPherson, 32, of Dale City and William Earl Anderson, Jr., 35, of Woodbridge, were shot and killed in a parking lot of the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission bus terminal in Woodbridge on June 15, police said.
A third man, 40-year-old Glenn Kinard Wade, of Woodbridge, is charged with first-degree murder in McPherson’s death.
After a preliminary hearing Tuesday, judge in Prince William General District Court certified that charge to the grand jury, which meets in October.
If the grand jury indicts Wade, a trial date will then be set in Prince William Circuit Court.
Prosecutors said that there was “animosity” between Wade and McPherson, who both worked as PRTC bus drivers, in the months leading up to the shooting.
Prosecutors believe that Wade called Anderson, who was his cousin, and asked him to come to the bus terminal that day. Anderson and McPherson did not know each other, witnesses said.
At Tuesday's hearing, witnesses testified that they saw Anderson firing into McPherson’s car around 11 a.m. on June 15. The witnesses said they then saw McPherson get out of his car and return fire.
Witnesses said they saw Wade run from the scene.
Prosecutors believe that after the shooting, Wade disposed of the gun Anderson used.
McPherson’s gun was found at the scene. Anderson’s gun was never recovered.
