The Alexandria Police Department has charged Dawit Seyoum, 29, for murdering a high-ranking D.C. corrections official.
Carolyn Cross, 64, was found dead at her apartment complex Sunday morning. She was the deputy director of operations for the Department of Corrections...
Alexandria Police spokeswoman Ashley Hildebrandt said Monday that investigators do not believe Cross slaying was related to her work as a corrections official, or that Seyoum and Cross knew each other.

Sundays murder of a high-ranking D.C. corrections official at an Alexandria apartment has police looking to see if there is any connection to a murder just over a mile away two months ago.
Similar causes of death, ties to the Ethiopian community, and at apartments just over a mile apart... are reasons some people question a link to 64-year-old Carolyn Cross death on Kenmore Avenue and the 43-year-old Asabech Abaynehs death on Derby Court in July...
Nosal warns against drawing conclusions too soon. Wed be looking into evidence and seeing if theres any connection, Nosal says. Since the suspect was charged with homicide we could also look at DNA. Detectives are going to be doing their normal investigation. Now they just have another focus.
