On behalf of Goochland County Commonwealth’s Attorney Claiborne Stokes, here is the following information about this afternoon’s bond hearing for four subjects charged in connection with the investigation into the disappearance and death of Kevin W. Quick, 45, of Rockfish, Va:

Anthony L. White, Leslie Hope Casterlow, Anthony D. Stokes Jr., and Gert A.L. Wright III (aka Halisi Uhuru) appeared before a Goochland County judge this afternoon. During the course of that hearing, the charge of principal in the 2nd degree (Code of Virginia 18.2-18) against Casterlow, Stokes and Wright/Uhuru was each nolle prossed. Again – since there are still reporters inaccurately reporting this – this particular charge means these individuals were charged in connection with Quick’s death, never FOR his death.

White, Casterlow, Stokes and Wright/Uhuru were denied bond and are still being held at the Henrico County Jail each on one felony count of gang participation. In addition, on March 10, 2014, a date will be set for each individual’s preliminary hearing in Goochland County on the gang participation charge. Their appearance took place before the judge via television from the Henrico County Jail at 12:30 p.m. Monday (Feb. 10, 2014).

The investigation remains ongoing at this time. We continue to ask the public to come forward with any information they may have about Quick or any of those arrested in connection with the case.

Also, we’re not releasing cause of death at this time.
