Two Dead in Car Crash; Detectives Asking for Public's Help
Detectives are looking for witnesses to an early morning crash on Sunday, July 15, that killed two people and injured two others. Tonnisha McCoy, 21, of Sterling, and Joselyn Herndon, 23, of Reston, were pronounced dead at the scene. Officers responded to the accident around 2 a.m. Sunday on the Fairfax County Parkway near Walnut Branch Road.
