Police: possible gang link in Va. officer’s death

WAYNESBORO, Va. (AP) – Police say they are looking into a possible gang affiliation with three people arrested in connection with the death of a Virginia reserve police officer.

The three were arrested Thursday night related to the disappearance of 45-year-old Kevin Wayne Quick, a veteran of the Waynesboro reserve police force.

At a news conference Friday in Waynesboro, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said no one has been charged with Quick’s death.

An autopsy has yet to positively identify a body found Thursday northwest of Richmond as that of Quick’s.

The three arrested Thursday night are 49-year-old Leslie Hope Casterlow and 31- year-old Anthony Darnell Stokes Jr., both of Manassas, and 22-year-old Halisi Uhuru of Danville.

Two Louisa County siblings previously were charged with grand larceny related to the theft of Quick’s SUV.
