YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife, Cerina Fairfax, and then himself, in a murder-suicide, according to local police. The shooting stemmed from an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding “what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce,” according to the Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis.

Fairfax, 47, served as lieutenant governor from 2018-22 under former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D). During his time in office, two women accused Fairfax of sexual assault — but he was not found guilty and denied wrongdoing.
