RIP Katasha.

I tell you, there's something bad in the water in VA right now. Three bodies have been found dismembered in the last month? And so many more found deceased, missing. (not connected, but it's just awful)

David L. Rios, who Durham said shared a home with Katasha Johnson in the city’s East End, has been named a person of interest in Johnson’s death.

“He has been cooperating with the lead investigator in this case,” Durham said of Rios. “The case is ongoing. We’re trying to build that case against him.”

Rios, 38, has been held at the Richmond Justice Center since he was arrested June 8 and charged with three counts of assaulting a juvenile during March, April and May, according to warrants on file in Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.

Rios has a significant criminal history dating to at least 1994 that includes drug, firearm, robbery and malicious wounding convictions in Richmond and Chesterfield, according to Virginia Department of Corrections records.
