ASHLAND, VA (WWBT) - A grand jury has indicted a woman in a Hanover murder case that left a 25-year-old woman dead at a Walmart parking lot.
Brittany Wiggins was indicted on first degree murder. The indictment comes after a judge initially ruled there wasn't probable cause for the case to move forward.
Officers found Ashley Fricke dead from a gunshot wound and later arrested Wiggins after surveillance video showed her inside of the Ashland Walmart.
Wiggins' attorney says she was being targeted because she's gay and says she fired a random gunshot in the air - not knowing it had struck anyone.
