Top Dem Kills Wife, Then Himself – Harrowing Details Revealed
A man killed a woman before taking his own life in a suspected murder-suicide at a $1 million home in Annandale, Virginia, a property owned by former lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax, according to reports early Thursday.
Officers with the Fairfax County Police Department were dispatched to the residence on Guinevere Drive shortly after midnight following a 911 call. The caller reported that he believed his father had stabbed his mother.
Property records reviewed by media outlets confirm that the home belongs to Fairfax, 47, and his wife, Cerina, 49. Authorities have not publicly identified the deceased, and a press conference was expected.
When officers arrived, they found a woman inside the home unconscious and bleeding. Authorities later determined she had been shot.
The couple’s son, whose age has not been disclosed, told officers he did not know where his father was.
Investigators later located the man elsewhere in the home with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
“It is high profile in nature, it’s tragic in nature. Certainly a fall from grace for a relatively high profile family that seemingly had had a lot of things going in their favor,” said Kevin Davis.
“So tragic for the children to lose both parents, extra tragic for them to actually be in the home when it occurred. So yeah, there’s a lot going on.”
Police said the couple had been married for 20 years but were separated and still living together during ongoing divorce proceedings. Court records show Cerina filed for divorce in July of last year.
“This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce,” Davis said.
“I don’t think it’s a secret that there’s been a divorce proceedings that have been ongoing. From what I understand in this early stage, former Lieutenant Governor Fairfax was recently served some paperwork associated with an upcoming court proceeding that apparently led to this incident last night.”
Fairfax, a Democrat, served as Virginia’s lieutenant governor from 2018 to 2022 and was once considered a rising political figure. In 2019, he faced allegations from two women accusing him of sexual assault in separate incidents dating back to the early 2000s. He denied the claims, calling them false and politically motivated. No criminal charges were filed, and he remained in office through the end of his term. He later ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2021.
According to prior reporting cited by the New York Post, police had responded to the home earlier this year after Fairfax accused his wife of assault. Investigators later concluded the claim was false after reviewing footage from cameras inside the residence. The reason for the installation of the cameras and the couple’s separation has not been publicly clarified.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ripped the media Thursday, likening them to Pharisees in the Bible who “were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda.”
“A note to the press, to the press corps, to the American media, as I just can’t help but notice the endless stream of garbage, the relentlessly negative coverage, you cannot resist peddling, despite the historic and important success of this effort and the success of our troops,” Hegseth said during a press briefing on the war with Iran, at the Pentagon.

The U.S. is currently in a ceasefire with Iran during Operation Epic Fury, which began on Feb. 28. The U.S. and Iran could begin a new round of peace talks as soon as Thursday, according to reports.
Hegseth went on to say that it was difficult to “figure out what side” some of the press was on.
“It’s incredibly unpatriotic,” he said. “This same press corps, not this exact same press corps, but at least an older press corps bent over backwards during the Biden administration to explain away, you explained away the disastrous and disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal.”
Hegseth recalled the withdrawal, telling the media, “You called it the greatest airlift in American history. It’s almost like you’re cheering only for one side.”

He then recounted his experience in church over the weekend.
“This past Sunday… I was sitting in church with my family, and our minister preached from the Book of Mark, the third chapter,” Hegseth said. “And in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue and healed a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees came to watch. And as the Scripture reads, they came to see whether he, Jesus, would heal him, or he would heal Him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.
“You see, the Pharisees, the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time, they were there to witness, to write everything down, to report,” he said.

“But their hearts were hardened. Even though they witnessed a literal miracle, it didn’t matter, they were only there to explain away the goodness in pursuit of their agenda. As the passage ends, the Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel against him how to destroy him,” Hegseth continued.
The secretary of war then likened some of the “Trump-hating press” to the “Pharisees.”
“I sat there in church, and I thought, our press are just like these Pharisees,” Hegseth said. “Not all of you, not all of – but the legacy Trump-hating press. Your politically motivated animus for President Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors. The Pharisees scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation, only looking for the negative. The hardened hearts of our press are calibrated only to impugn. I would ask you to open your eyes to the goodness, the historic success of our troops, the courage of this president, and this historic moment for a deal that could end the Iranian nuclear threat.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to Hegseth for comment.
A Utah judge has unsealed a federal ballistics report in the case against Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University—highlighting a key reality in gun investigations: ballistic evidence is not always definitive.
The newly released report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) states that examiners could not conclusively match a bullet fragment recovered during the investigation to the suspected murder weapon. However, the same report confirmed that a spent casing was fired from the rifle prosecutors allege Robinson used.
While these conclusions had been referenced previously in court, the unsealed document provides additional detail, including testing on a “deformed/damaged” bullet jacket fragment and four lead fragments.
The report was attached to a defense motion filed under seal on January 9, which sought to prevent further testing until a defense expert could review and document the evidence. Tony Graf ruled there was no justification to keep the filing sealed, noting it contained no “private or inflammatory information.”
An appendix in the report clarifies that an “inconclusive” result means “an examiner’s opinion that there is an insufficient quality and/or quantity of individual characteristics to identify or exclude.”
According to law enforcement sources cited by Fox News, the bullet could not be matched because it struck bone and fragmented on impact—something experts say is not unusual.
“It is not a win for the defense,” said Jason Pack. “It is simply a gap the prosecution is now working to address by bringing in the FBI with more advanced technology.”
He emphasized that ballistics are rarely the sole evidence in a homicide case and that the inconclusive finding applied only to the bullet fragment—not the casing or the rifle recovered near the scene.
“The defense here is doing exactly what good defense lawyers are supposed to do, protecting their client’s ability to challenge evidence before it gets further altered,” Pack said. “That is not a sign the prosecution’s case is weak.”
The ATF also examined a .30-06 cartridge case, determining it had been fired from the rifle identified as evidence—reportedly a Mauser belonging to Robinson’s grandfather.
“We are a long way from trial, and the public should pump the brakes before drawing big conclusions from a single pre-trial motion about a single bullet fragment,” Pack added.
Robinson is accused of fatally shooting Kirk during a Turning Point USA event in September 2025. Prosecutors allege he positioned himself on a rooftop across a courtyard and fired a single shot, striking Kirk in the neck in front of a crowd of about 3,000 people.
Additional evidence cited by prosecutors includes DNA consistent with Robinson’s found on the rifle, a towel, and three of the four rounds recovered. Investigators also reported impressions on a gravel rooftop consistent with someone lying prone in a sniper position.
Authorities say the rifle was later recovered in a wooded area near campus, wrapped in a blanket. Prosecutors further allege that text messages between Robinson and his romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, referenced retrieving the weapon.
“Stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet,” Robinson allegedly wrote after the incident. “Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still.”
Twiggs is cooperating with investigators and has not been charged.
Robinson is scheduled to appear in court Friday for a hearing on a motion to exclude cameras from future proceedings. He could face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder.
A popular vegetarian restaurant chain is warning it could close amid financial uncertainty, as an expert points to shifting demand for meat and dairy.
Clover Food Lab, a Boston-area vegetarian fast-casual chain, recently filed a warning that it may close and lay off 182 workers if it’s unable to find a new buyer, according to local outlet WBZ-TV.
“Clover is expected to close on May 29, 2026, unless we secure a buyer for the company by that date,” the company’s filing said.

Clover Food Lab told Fox News Digital it filed a WARN notice to comply with Massachusetts law in case a sale is not completed.
“We simply want to comply with all regulations in the case of a change of operations,” the company said in a statement.
“We are optimistic that Clover will continue to serve our locally sourced farm-to-table fast food in Clover’s next chapter.”
The chain began as a food truck at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008. Eventually, it expanded to multiple locations across Massachusetts serving locally sourced, plant-based food.
The chain filed for bankruptcy in 2023, citing COVID-related financial troubles, before coming back in 2024 with an ambitious plan to expand across the region.
AMERICA’S BIGGEST TIPPERS REVEALED: THE 5 MOST AND LEAST ‘GENEROUS’ STATES
The developments come as consumers appear to be moving away from the plant-based trends of the 2010s and focusing on high-protein foods, especially meat and dairy.
That shift is reflected in the broader marketplace, where demand for protein-rich foods and beverages continues to grow.
Market research firm IMARC Group recently found that the global dairy-based protein market was valued at about $15 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $22 billion by 2033.
The Trump administration’s 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans also eased earlier restrictions on red meat and full-fat dairy, allowing them as part of a balanced diet in moderation.

Meat and dairy are regaining ground with consumers, said Adam Yee, a North Carolina-based food scientist and consultant who studies food trends and develops products.
Yee told Fox News Digital that U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) statistics show per capita meat consumption on the rise, and he cited “a lot of factors” behind the shift.
“One is that meat and dairy are perceived as cleaner products with more protein,” Yee noted.
Scrutiny over ultra-processed foods is another major factor, he said, as plant-based meat tends to be made with a long list of ingredients.

Generally, consumers “would rather choose meat and dairy than the alternatives,” Yee added, citing both cost and the fact that meat is more satisfying.
“Meat and dairy just have an easier time communicating [their] value and delivering in taste than plant-based products,” he said.
He added, “Clover Food Lab is suffering from a general decline in restaurant sales, but the factors that are increasing meat and dairy sales, and decreasing plant-based sales, are definitely crushing them.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the Plant Based Foods Association for comment, but did not immediately receive a reply.
