WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Author's note: The video above is on file from October 2020.
On Monday, police released the name of a woman who died after someone stabbed her outside of a Walgreens in Williamsburg on Friday.
Officers said Catherine Patricia Heaston, 71, died at Riverside Doctors' Hospital Williamsburg after LaTeisha Meekins, 35, stabbed her. Meekins is facing a charge of Second-degree Murder.
The Williamsburg Police Department said the stabbing happened at the pharmacy, located in the 1300 block of Richmond Rd., around 6 p.m. on Nov. 12. That's near the intersection where Lafayette Street changes into Monticello Avenue.
When officers got to the Walgreens, they found Heaston with stab wounds.
