Why would someone shoot just him and not the wife, too?

Something very very shady is going on here

yeah what lone psycho breaks into a house, makes their way into a bedroom and just shoots one person?

She could have been up with a kid in another room or reacted and intruder panicked and ran away. I think they just moved there and the person could have been targeting a former resident who was single, etc.

Maybe he had a wife who makes good money. Women are allowed work too these days.

Looks like he took a partial salary, got the rest donated through Patreon and similar, wrote a book, speaks.

I don’t know why you are all speculating. It sounds like a standard domestic situation.

It is this OR a targeted attack

Those are the only 2 scenarios that make any sense

In a Dateline where this happened, the wife hired a hit man.

Yes, very scary. Especially if it turns out to be a random intruder.

It would be almost incomprehensible if a random person broke into their house, made their way to the bedroom, and shot the husband while leaving the wife unharmed. Not impossible, but so far-fetched that it wouldn’t even make for a good crime drama

Like I said - targeted. Someone wanted him for some reason.

NP. Not necessarily targeted. It could have been a burglary gone wrong.

Look up the Quisenberry murders in 1997 in Vienna. I remember that at the time (the case, as far as I can tell, is still unsolved), the couple was shot in their home late at night; police believed that the motive was burglary, and that the burglars entered the home through an unlocked door. The word around Vienna at the time and afterward was that police thought the killer(s) might have taken Metro, gotten off at the Vienna station, and just started roaming neighborhoods in search of any house they could enter easily. The couple was killed in their bed, from what I recall. For certain, their car ended up somewhere pretty far from Vienna (in a MD suburb) after the killers took it and abandoned it. I looked this case up and there's not much there -- someone was a suspect about 12 years after the killings but I don't see that any arrest came of that investigation.

The Quisenberry murders shook people up at the time and for a long time after, for obvious reasons. Investigators said no one seemed to have any beef with them, never anything found to show they were targeted, or had secrets to hide that got them killed. Just ra random burglary gone wrong and both shot to death. It can and does happen, sadly.

I remember this case.

This. Definitely targeted.

You two above are just determined that this must be either "domestic" (in other words you want a "Dateline" type of spousal murder) or "targeted" (ooooh, conspiracy, secret life!).

You refuse to believe that yeah, break-ins can and do go wrong and agitated burglars can panic and pull the trigger. It's pretty ghoulish, how you both want some version of a juicy drama around this tragedy. Maybe you find it somehow comforting to insist that the victim MUST have been targeted or this was domestic, because in those cases, this was not random. Random is more frightening to the community. But I suspect you really just want this to be some kind of true crime local drama. Sick.

As for "why didn't the killer kill both of them," none of the coverage has said the wife was there next to him when he was shot. Do link if you've seen that from the cops. Speculation here or rumors on Fairfax Underground do not count.

What is Ozcam’s razor for this situation? Isn’t that most likely the scenario in most cases?

[Anonymous]

Right? I’m not trying to make this juicy. Taking what we know about this case, those are the two scenarios that make sense. That is how cases like this normally shake out. Based on facts.

If it wasn’t one of those, it would be completely out of the norm and random and scary. It is still possible, but the chances are incredibly low

Sorry, pp, but some of us live in Fairfax City and have a vested interest in knowing if our community is safe. If this is a random psycho, we kinda all would like to know, and to know what our police are doing. So, get off the thread if it bothers you.

[Anonymous]

Sounds really really targeted to me, if the shooter didn't kill the wife sleeping next to him. If I lived in Fairfax this would be the last thing I would worry about right now.

[Anonymous]

go ask the police, then

My best guess is they know who did it and are just waiting on a confession

Anything on this thread is speculative until all the facts are released

I really don’t understand why you are lashing out at people. You don’t get to make the rules on a public message board.

If you’re scared, DCUM is not where you should be right now
