First-year faces murder charges in father

Former first-year College student Alan Yuan Chang has been charged with one count of first-degree murder for the killing of his father, 47-year-old Jian Zhang, Chang's attorney said. Police found Zhang's body inside the family's home.

Yesterday, Henrico County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court officials set a preliminary hearing for March 22. Chang is currently being held without bond.

University spokesperson Carol Wood said Chang was enrolled as a first-year student last semester but is no longer enrolled.
