VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Nice, friendly and outgoing... that's how one neighbor living off of White Beam Court in Virginia Beach describes his neighbor Victoria Hasbrouck who was found dead inside of a home on Saturday.
"The grandmother came, rang the doorbell, and I answered the door. She was hysterical and begging me to call 911 because her daughter had been stabbed," said a neighbor who lives on White Beam.
Residents are still emotional after what happened outside of their homes Saturday night.

Virginia Beach Police were responding to a reported stabbing and were confronted by 22-year-old Marques Hasbrouck. Police said he was armed with a 20" crowbar and a metal rod.
A neighbor who didn't want to be identified because of their safety said Hasbrouck was told to drop the weapons more than once.
"There was just no stopping him, he had been tased and it had no effect," The neighbor said. "They had to put him down he was charging at them with two weapons. He was not retreating, he was not putting the weapons down, they had no choice."
Marques was shot and killed by officers.

Three victims were later found inside the home, two with life-threatening injuries, and 58-year-old Victoria Hasbrouck was found dead.
Court documents obtained by News 3 state that Victoria Hasbrouck was Marques Hasbrouck's adoptive mother.
The neighbor News 3 spoke with said they called her Vicky, that she was inseparable from her mom, and that the two are some of the nicest people you could meet.
"She was a nice lady, she didn't deserve that," the neighbor said.
Virginia Beach Police did confirm with News 3 that officers had been called out to the same home one time before but because the incident involved a juvenile they could not go into details as to why.
However, court documents say back in November of 2017, Marques and Victoria had a dispute over him playing video games and not taking his medications. Marques grabbed a pair of scissors and attacked Victoria, stabbing her in the face and body, the documents state.
The court documents say Marques said he had 'murderous intent,' deliberately aimed for her eyes, and that voices in his head urged him to do it. The charges were later dismissed.
While police have not said if this was a mental health crisis, a neighbor said Marques had been working through things.

"The grandmother before the police showed up told me we've worked so hard with him and then this," the neighbor said.
Therapists say while you want to help your loved one who may be experiencing a mental health crisis, your well-being is still important.
"You gotta keep yourself safe and if that means removing yourself from the situation, get out of the house, and then try to call someone to get that person some help," Dr. Melynda Keatts, with Genesis Counseling Center, said.
Police say the officers who fired shots were not hurt. They are on administrative leave, which is standard protocol, police added.
“Our hearts are with everyone affected by this tragedy," said Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate. "Responding to domestic incidents is one of the most dangerous aspects of our job, with every encounter carrying with it the possibility of danger. These situations are often volatile and unpredictable, as was the case last night. We support our officers, theaffected family, and our community as we navigate this difficult time together."
