FAIRFAX COUNTY CRIME SOLVERS
News Release
Case # 1259
Release Date: February 4, 2009
UPDATE – Detectives Release New Details; Still Seek
Suspect Information
Police are releasing new details regarding the deaths of three men in the hope someone will step forward with new suspect information. Investigators believe Terence Strope, 38, Ryan Strope, 26, and Andres Yelicie, 26, were killed during a narcotics-involved robbery. One victim described the suspects as males, wearing black clothing with the words “Police” and “SWAT” displayed.
Witnesses observed an older-model Chevrolet Blazer or Jeep, near the home on the night of the homicide and the day prior. The vehicle was light-colored, possibly gold, and had Maryland license plates. A second vehicle was also seen near the home about one hour prior to the murders. It was described as a white, compact car with Maryland license plates.
Detectives do not believe the suspects were direct acquaintances of the victims; however, the suspects may have learned of the narcotics sales in the victims’ home indirectly through friends of the victims.
Detectives continue to follow up on leads in this case. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477), e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or text “TIP187” plus your message to CRIMES(274637). In addition to the $1,000 cash reward being offered by Crime Solvers, an additional private reward of $10,000 is also being offered for information that leads to an arrest in this case. As always, callers never have to give their names or appear in court.
Crime Solvers Seeks Suspects in Triple Homicide
Fairfax County Crime Solvers is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the people responsible for killing three men at a home in the Springfield area. Around 9:45 p.m. on Wednesday, November 19, police were called to a home in the 5400 block of Moultrie Road for an injured, adult male. Officers located the man outside with multiple injuries. They determined there were additional injured victims inside a home across the street. Officers made entry into that home and located the two other victims. All three were transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital and died a short time later.
Terence Strope, 38, Ryan Strope, 26 and Andres Yelicie, 26, of the Springfield area, died as a result of multiple stab wounds to their upper bodies. Detectives have reason to believe this incident was not random in nature.
