A domestic dispute in a Woodbridge, Virginia, home ended in violence in the early morning hours of October 28, 2024. At about 2:39 a.m., Prince William County officers responded to a Paxton Street residence after a family friend alerted them to a shooting. They found 56-year-old Brian Christopher Rose deceased inside the home; the family’s one-year-old Labrador Retriever also died in the incident.

Investigators focused on Rose’s son, 29-year-old Christopher Tyler Rose, who was present and taken into custody at the scene without incident. He has been charged with murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and felony animal cruelty, and is being held without bond as the investigation continues.

Brian Christopher Rose had worked for many years with ADT Security and later as a bus driver for OmniRide, was a member of Teamsters Local 639, and was described as an accomplished guitarist, singer and songwriter who loved music and as a loving father and grandfather. Does anyone in the Woodbridge area have information about the family or that night that could help investigators?
