In the early morning hours of February 22, 2020, a domestic disturbance in a Herndon neighborhood ended with the fatal shooting of 53-year-old Blanca Turcios inside a home on the 12800 block of Lady Fairfax Circle. Fairfax County Police found Turcios shortly after 3 a.m. suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to her upper body; she was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy was scheduled with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine cause and manner of death.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect close to home. Authorities said Blanca’s 28-year-old son, Eric Turcios, surrendered to Prince William County Police a short time after the shooting; a firearm believed to be the weapon was recovered. Eric Turcios was taken to the Adult Detention Center and charged with murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, held without bond. Detectives continued to investigate the circumstances of the shooting.
