Alexandria Police on Saturday announced a second arrest in a homicide that rattled the quiet waterside community of North Old Town a year ago. James Bolar, 33, of Lorton, faces charges of murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony in the death of Leon Williams. James Bolar is a relative of Brian Bolar, 26, who was arrested and charged with the same offenses in May, police said. Acting Alexandria Police Chief David Huchler did not discuss a motive for the killing, but in a statement said that the second arrest “exemplifies our relentless pursuit of justice” in the case. He died from wounds suffered in a hail of gunfire on Belle Pre Way after 11 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2015.
