One of the women charged in the shooting death of a Mount Jackson native now faces additional charges.

A grand jury indicted Zsabriela E. Williams on two more charges Monday for the murder of Tyler Binsted.

The new charges are carjacking and the use of a firearm in a felony. So Williams now faces eight total charges including the original charges: one for murder, two for robbery and three for using a firearm in a felony.

She is expected in a Richmond Circuit Court September 12.

Williams, Howard Scott III and LaPrecious Austin were all arrested for Binsted's death. Authorities believe Williams and Scott robbed and killed Binsted while he and his girlfriend were trying to get into their car near the Virginia Commonwealth University campus in March.

Scott is expected in court August 18, but no trial date has been set yet for Austin.

After watching a PBS documentary on the town of Mt. Jackson last year, my husband and I took our 2 young children on a long weekend/vacation to visit your beautiful town. We live about 20 min's outside of Richmond in the "country". We really enjoyed ourselves and the town was so nice and everyone was very hospitable. I just read the article on the updated charges against the ones responsible for Tyler's death & felt a personal heartache to learn that he was from Mt. Jackson. It is always tragic when these horrible crimes happen, but for some reason it just became a little personal. We loved the area so much and I can only imagine that it is just a wonderful place to raise children away from crime infested urban areas. I know these things can happen anywhere, but it's just heartbreaking and I am so sorry for the loss that you've suffered. We hope to visit your town again one day & when we do we will most certainly remember a very special young man.
