(NewsNation) — The mother of country music singer Spencer Hatcher was killed in an apparent home invasion in Rockingham County, Virginia, according to authorities.

The singer’s mother, Holly Hatcher, 62, was stabbed to death during what is being considered a random home invasion just before midnight on Aug. 3, Rockingham County Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson said.

The suspect was later identified as Kevin Moses Walker, 41, of Pikesville, Maryland.

Authorities said Spencer Hatcher‘s father, Michael, got into “an altercation” with the suspect in the driveway of the home. Police said that Michael Hatcher, in an act of self-defense, “was able to retrieve a handgun from his vehicle and fire a single shot,” killing the suspect.

Police said no charges would be filed in the suspect’s death.

Michael Hatcher, 65, sustained “serious injuries,” Spencer Hatcher said in a video posted Thursday by the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office.

Hutcheson said the investigation plans to cover “all the facts and highly unusual circumstances involved in this violent and tragic crime.”

Michael and Spencer Hatcher thanked the community for the support they’ve received.

“We’ve cried. We’ve hurt and we’ve hugged,” Michael Hatcher said in the video. “We have found more love than we have ever known has existed between us and between you.”

Spencer Hatcher canceled several upcoming shows in the wake of the “monumental loss” in his family, he said in a social media post.

“I hope to make these dates up to my fans in the future. … We ask that everyone please respect our family’s privacy at this time,” he wrote.
