Alexandria Police Seek Trio in Halloween Masks After Doorbell Video Captures Break-In Threats

Investigators ask neighbors near Duke and South Jordan streets to share security footage from 9 to 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Overview

  • Ring video shows three masked individuals at a home around 10 p.m., pounding on doors and windows and issuing explicit threats to kill the occupants.
  • Visitor Shayla Whiteside said she first thought it was a prank before calling 911 as the group tried the front door, moved to the back, broke part of a fence, and pounded a window during a roughly 10-minute ordeal.
  • Police believe the suspects removed their masks and fled in a vehicle after leaving the property.
  • Chief Tarrik McGuire labeled the incident a very serious matter and said the conduct could constitute burglary and making criminal threats under Virginia law.
  • No arrests have been announced, with detectives reviewing additional neighborhood video and following multiple leads while urging tips from the public.
