Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.
Today we’re covering more crime happenings in Fairfax County, Virginia.
‘WHY IS HE OUT AGAIN?’
Last week I told you the tragic story of Gret Glyer, the husband and father who was shot ten times while asleep next to his wife.
Gret’s murderer admitted to the crime, but will avoid prison because he was deemed “insane” by mental health professionals. Instead, the murderer is being committed in a mental institution. His case will be up for annual review for the next five years. Every year, Gret’s family has to face the possibility of this psycho being released.
I will have more to share on that case soon.
In the meantime, I want to tackle another horrific injustice that happened recently in Northern Virginia.
On Feb. 23, Stephanie Nicole Minter, a 41-year-old mother, was waiting at a Fairfax County bus depot when she was allegedly randomly attacked by Abdul Jalloh, an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone.
The man stabbed her multiple times in the torso. Police attempted lifesaving efforts, but Stephanie died.
Random acts of violence are already horrific. They are even worse when they could have been prevented.
Let’s start with this. Jalloh was an illegal alien. According to the Department of Homeland Security, Jalloh entered the U.S. illegally in 2012. A final order of removal was issued in 2020.
Yet Jalloh remained.
How was he able to escape deportation for so long? Well, for one, no one has had the cajones to effectuate a mass deportation operation until President Donald Trump. But the story goes beyond our federal government’s unwillingness to enforce immigration law.
Jalloh is a career criminal. He had been arrested more than 30 times during his 14-year stay in the U.S. If you’re doing the math along with me, that’s nearly two arrests every single year. Police say they encountered him 178 times. This man collects charges like Disney adults collect Minnie Mouse ears.
Jalloh’s most serious charges include rape by force or threat in 2018, malicious wounding twice in 2023, again in 2024, assault and battery in in 2025, two more malicious woundings in 2025, and another assault and battery in 2026. According to reports, Jalloh had been involved in four previous stabbing incidents before the bus stop murder. In February 2023, he pleaded guilty to malicious wounding after stabbing a 73-year-old man and served two years with five years suspended.
He wasn’t out of prison long before he was arrested again — twice. Yet a local prosecutor and defense attorney struck a deal to avoid triggering Jalloh’s five year suspended sentence. Instead of throwing him back in the clink, the officials resuspended his sentence and terminated his probation, leaving him completely free to terrorize new victims without anyone watching.
Prosecutors claim they couldn’t put Jalloh away for previous crimes because victims and witnesses wouldn’t show up to court to testify. With more than 30 arrests, that seems a little too convenient an excuse. They couldn’t find someone in a single one of those cases who could help successfully lock Jalloh up?
Even if prosecutors couldn’t secure a conviction on those prior charges, ICE could have come to pick him up and remove him from the country. Except in 2018, Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid terminated an Intergovernmental Service Agreement that allowed her jail to hold criminal illegal aliens past their release dates.
She refuses to honor ICE detainers, a policy that has routinely allowed illegals like Jalloh to reenter the community and harm citizens. In fact, in December, the Sheriff’s Office released Marvin Morales-Ortez — an alleged MS-13 gang member — despite ICE issuing a detainer asking the Sheriff’s Office to hold him. Morales-Ortez went on to allegedly murder a man in Reston.
Jalloh should have been prosecuted numerous times. He should have been deported. And, at the very least, he should have been picked up by ICE before being released into the community in 2025 after serving his sentence for stabbing that 73-year-old man.
Jalloh was such a known menace that local police BEGGED Jenna Sands, Fairfax County’s Chief Deputy Commonwealth Attorney, to put him away. In November 2025, police warned Sands that Jalloh’s release from prison posed a major threat to the community.
Here’s what Major Mauro from the Fairfax County Police Department wrote to Sands in an email obtained by NBC:
“Mr. Jalloh is one of the repeat (and violent) felony offenders I expressed concern about when we met. He has an extensive criminal history — he has stabbed multiple people, sexually assaulted at least one woman, and committed numerous other offenses. Furthermore, his behavior appears to be escalating and becoming more violent and explosive.
I wanted to please get your insights on why he is out again so soon and ask if his prior suspended sentence … can be pursued by your office?
… I am concerned that it is not a question of if, but rather when he will maliciously wound (or worse) again.”
Brooke Wright, the Deputy Chief of Police, wrote in a separate email that she had previously reached an agreement with Sands to have Jalloh prosecuted without a victim. Sands and lead Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano chose not to do it.
Instead, Jalloh was free to allegedly kill Stephanie Minter at the bus stop.
Stephanie was described as a “happy, jolly individual, filled with love and adoration for her loved ones” and a “beam of light in dark places” in her obituary. She leaves behind numerous family members, including her son, Caden.
She should be here. She’s not because Fairfax County officials failed. And they didn’t fail due to inaction. They failed due to a series of choices they made. Choices that protected a criminal and illegal alien over an American citizen who just wanted to take the bus.
