Public Stabbing Near Mount Vernon: Known Threat Let Free by Prosecutors

A woman was found stabbed to death at a bus stop on Richmond Highway near George Washington’s Mount Vernon home on Monday evening. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, has an extensive criminal record but has frequently had charges against him dropped by prosecutors.

Homeless 32-year-old Abdul Jalloh has been charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of 41-year-old Stephanie Minter at a bus stop along Richmond Highway in Fairfax County. Jalloh was apprehended after an employee at a nearby store recognized him from law enforcement notifications and alerted officials, leading to his initial detention for a separate theft offense.

Jalloh has a long record of criminal activity, including several instances of assault, theft, and a serious felony charge for malicious wounding from 2025. However, prosecutors have repeatedly dropped or failed to pursue charges against him in prior cases, leaving him free despite the evident danger he presented to the public.

The Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office is led by “rogue prosecutor” Steve Descano, a Democrat whose rise to office was funded in large part by groups bankrolled by liberal plutocrat George Soros.

Descano previously dropped charges against violent career criminal Gerald Brevard III, who was facing decades in prison, in 2021, leaving him at liberty to carry out a deadly shooting spree less than a year later. His office is also accused of pressuring the victim of a 39-year-old pedophile, Ryan Duarte, into helping get him a plea deal, in a traumatizing process that included forcing her to recount her abuse “with Duarte sitting only a foot away” from her.

A local witness described the scene: “It’s like a tragedy. It’s a public area. There’s kids around here.”

The community is on edge as detectives continue their investigation.
