Va. teen gets 28 years in gang slaying

A Fairfax County youth who was 16 when he participated in the beating death of a rival street gang member last year was sentenced Friday to 28 years in prison. Mario Reyes, now 17, acknowledged bringing a baseball bat to Woodlawn Park in November 2009 along with a fellow member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, Francisco Gonzalez Sanchez, who was also 16. Gonzalez had been in the Fairfax juvenile jail for malicious wounding in November 2009, with a prior conviction for malicious wounding, when he was allowed to leave with his mother for a dentist's appointment, testimony in a court hearing showed. Gonzalez did not return from the appointment.

Va. grandmother indicted in girl's death

The Fairfax County woman who allegedly dropped her two-year-old granddaughter to her death from a Tysons Corner walkway has been indicted by a Fairfax grand jury for murder. Carmela Dela Rosa, 50, was with her husband, her son, her daughter and her granddaughter, Angelyn Ogdoc, at the Tysons 1 mall on Nov. 29. Angelyn's mother, Kathlyn Ogdoc, testified in a preliminary hearing last week that the family was walking across a fifth-floor skywalk from the mall to the parking lot around 7:20 p.m. when she looked back to see her mother, Dela Rosa, picking up Angelyn.
