VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — The man suspected of stabbing a woman to death and leaving two others in critical condition in Virginia Beach over the weekend had a history of violence and mental health struggles, court documents reveal.
Marques Hasbrouck, 22, was shot and killed by VBPD officers who had been called to a house on the 4100 block of White Beam Court for a reported stabbing. Police say Hasbrouck charged at them while holding a crowbar and metal pole. He did not respond to be tased.
A neighbor 10 On Your Side spoke with Monday confirmed that Marques Hasbrouck did not listen to officer’s commands.
“The next thing I know, I hear them screaming ‘drop it, drop it, drop it,” the man told 10 On Your Side. “He did not drop it; He charged at them. He chased them down the driveway. They were backing up towards my house [when Marques was shot].”
Court documents show that Victoria Hasbrouck was the adoptive mother of Marques Hasbrouck.
On Nov. 19, 2017, Marques Hasbrouck was arrested and charged in relation to stabbing Victoria in the face, head and body with a pair of scissors.
The incident followed an argument about Marques Hasbrouck playing video games and failing to take his medication. An affidavit describes him cursing at and pushing her.
“Marques tried to get some fast food on the table and his mother told him he could not have it because of the way he was talking to her,” it reads. “Marques grabbed a pair of scissors and attacked his mother.”
Victoria Hasbrouck was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“[Marques] stated he had ‘murderous intent’ and deliberately aimed for her eyes because ‘they are soft,” the document continues. “While he was attacking, the voices in his head urged him to do it.”
According to the police narrative, Marques Hasbrouck was cooperative with police and surrendered at the end of that incident.
The charges were dismissed in January 2019, after a court found Marques Hasbrouck had fully complied with his sentence requirements.
