Former Democratic Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his wife and then himself in a shocking murder-suicide early Thursday morning, according to the Fairfax County Police Department. ...
Fairfax was accused of sexual assault in 2019 when two women came forward. The Virginia politician denied the allegations.
One of the women shared a graphic statement saying he forced her to perform oral sex back in 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston, Fox News Digital previously reported....
Fairfax shot himself with the same gun he used to murder his wife. Authorities do not know the details about the gun purchase.
He supported Virginia’s first red flag law preventing individuals who show signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing, possessing or transporting any kind of firearm....
"We have given commonsense tools like the ‘red flag’ law to law enforcement, the courts and our communities to help keep our families safe even as we ensure due process and protect Constitutional rights," he posted on X in 2022.
Rape at a DNC Convention? Hard to imagine. 2/16/19 Fox News has details of the accusations, which according to the previous story led to divorce proceedings. To quote from a 4/16/26 CNN report:
Fairfax worked to pass gun violence prevention legislation during his time as lieutenant governor and repeatedly described gun violence as a “national health crisis emergency.”
“We need a new, innovative #HeadHandHeart approach to deliver universal and compassionate mental healthcare access and services, to keep weapons of war out of the hands of those at risk of harming others and themselves, and to address the internal damage and brokenness that drives people to cruelty and to want to destroy other people, families and communities,” Fairfax wrote in a 2023 Facebook post after leaving office.
