The deaths of former Virginia governor Justin Fairfax and his estranged wife, Cerina Fairfax, are currently being investigated by Fairfax County officers. Both were pronounced dead on Thursday April 16 in what is believed to be a murder-suicide.
In a televised press conference Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davies told reporters that Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife before turning the gun on himself and taking his own life too. The couple’s children, a teenage boy and teenage girl, were both in the house at the time of the shooting. The boy called 911 after they discovered the bodies of their parents.
