Sternbeck said he also wasn't aware of detectives finding evidence of items stolen from the apartment. No drugs were found at the scene, and nothing indicates the matter may have been the result of a domestic dispute, he said.

"It's an isolated incident. There should be no general public fear," Sternbeck said. He would not say what led police to that conclusion.

"Right now, it's an ongoing investigation," he said.

Arlington County "has sufficient resources" dedicated to this case, Sternbeck said.

Spriggs was a divorced father of two who worked in a body shop, according to WJLA.

Moten, a father of five, worked as a cook but had no place to stay. Spriggs invited Moten to stay with him about a week before the killings, WJLA reported.

The Hall's Hill community held a candlelight vigil for the two slain men Tuesday night, according to ARLNow.
