    Everything about this is ghoulish (including the live update feed in front of the house. Is that really necessary)?

    My heart goes out to the children who should have never had to endure this. I hope they find peace, security, and love from those around them.

    > Police believe the murder happened in the basement of the home and at some point after shooting his wife, Justin Fairfax ran upstairs of the home to the primary bedroom, where he shot himself. He used the same gun, but police have not recovered it yet.

    > The couple has two children who were home at the time of the shooting, and one of them called 911.

    This is absolutely horrifying. The article says that the couple was going through a divorce.

    I don’t understand how they haven’t found the weapon. What did he do, shoot himself and then hide it? Shouldn’t it be right by his body?

    Horrific story. My heart goes out to his wife and children, and to anyone else that he victimized in his brutal life.

    Tragic all around. Those poor kids. I hope they have loving and supportive family to raise them now.

    Wait…He used the gun on himself, but the gun is not at the scene? How does that work?

  6. Nice: “Police added they were “separated but living together” and that Justin Fairfax was served some paperwork recently that may have “sparked” this shooting.” Or, and hear me out, Fairfax was just a soulless murderer and coward.

    Even the phrase “murder-suicide” is bullshit. To do this to your children because your feelings are hurt is unspeakable.

    Not all men, but almost always a man. Those poor children and his poor wife. And people ask why women don’t leave!! She was in the middle of getting a divorce and he murdered her. May he rot in Hell where he belongs.

    This is horrible. I’ve been following the story of Ashlee Jenae and I was sad to see how the narrative turned into how she’s getting her just deserts for being a black woman dating a white man. Yet earlier this month Nancy Metayer Brown was murdered by her black husband, and this story of Cerina Fairfax shot by her black husband… Women just aren’t safe with men, of any race, full stop.

    How has the weapon not been found if this was a murder/suicide? I see the children are teens. Perhaps one of them moved it?

    Here we go again. Tragic. All at the hands of man. Again. What is wrong with the males in society? So much violence.

    Sounds like there was domestic abuse in this marriage for a long time. The signs seem to point to him escalating as they were separating, which often happens.

    1) This is horrible. Those poor children.
    2) This article is ATROCIOUSLY written.

    Stop killing your wife, ex wife, kid and step kids. You wanna die? Take yourself out and leave people the fuck alone. Poor kids. I hope they get help to successfully heal from this. Heartbreaking.

    Reminder that the mos dangerous time in a woman’s life is when she leaves her abusers. Fuck this selfish POS

    It’s probably safer to live with a bear than live with an ex. So many family annihilators.

    Fairfax is the name of a large county in Virginia, so the headline confused me initially. I looked him up and wow, he shares a last name with Fairfax county because he is a descendent of a prominent slave owner in that area.

    From Wiki:

    >>Fairfax’s ancestors were enslaved to the Lords Fairfax of Cameron (for whom Fairfax County, Virginia is named). His ancestor, Simon Fairfax, was freed by Thomas Fairfax, 9th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who manumitted his slaves as part of his Swedenborgian beliefs.[13] Justin Fairfax was presented with a copy of the manumission document by his father on the day he was sworn in as Virginia’s lieutenant governor in 2018.

    What a waste.

    >More than 40% to 50% of Black women experience intimate partner physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking in their lifetimes, with Black women being 2.5 times more likely to be murdered by men than white counterparts. Over 50% of Black female homicides are related to intimate partner violence, often involving perpetrators who are known to the victims.
