Brittany L. Wiggins of Mechanicsville, who is accused of shooting a woman to death over the weekend in the parking lot of a Walmart store in Ashland, has been ordered to remain in jail without bond.

Wiggins, 24, is being held in the Pamunkey Regional Jail and appeared via video Tuesday in Hanover County General District Court. She is being represented by the law firm of Joe Morrissey, the controversial former lawmaker who most recently lost a bid for Richmond mayor.

Her trial is set to begin April 21.

Wiggins, of the 9000 block of Guenevere Place, is charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm in a felony and shooting into an occupied vehicle in connection to the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old Caroline County woman that occurred Saturday night in Ashland.

Ashley Fricke was shot and killed in her car at about 11 p.m. in the parking lot of the Walmart at 145 Hill Carter Parkway.
