According to police, officers responded to a call early Thursday morning reporting a serious situation at the residence. Upon arrival, they discovered two individuals deceased inside the home. Officials have not yet released the identities of those involved as the investigation remains ongoing.
Law enforcement officials said the initial call came from a family member who reported concern about a violent situation. When officers entered the home, they found a woman unresponsive. During their search of the property, they later located a man in a separate area. Authorities believe the incident involved a domestic dispute, though details are still being confirmed.
Police indicated that the individuals involved were in the process of a separation while continuing to live at the same residence. Investigators noted that the situation appeared to be connected to ongoing personal and legal matters between the couple. Officials described the case as complex and emphasized that more information will be shared once it becomes available.
The home has been identified in public records as belonging to Fairfax and his family. Fairfax served as Virginia’s lieutenant governor from 2018 to 2022 and has remained a public figure since leaving office.
