HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Matthew Glenn Shea is behind bars at Henrico Jail West, charged with second-degree murder, but it's not the only death he's been questioned about.

Crime Insider sources confirm that Shea, 29, is also the former boyfriend of 25-year-old Barbara Brown. Brown, a young mother of six, was found dead inside her Chamberlayne Avenue apartment in November 2017.

Shea was charged Friday afternoon in the murder of Tom McCauley. The 27-year-old was stabbed outside Ollie's Bargain Outlet on Gayton Road in western Henrico on Monday, January 8. He died at the hospital two days later.
