"Justin Fairfax, a former lieutenant governor of Virginia, shot and killed his wife Cerina Fairfax on Thursday before killing himself, police said. The murder-suicide took place in the context of an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce."
"Davis said that Cerina and Justin Fairfax were living together as they went through their divorce, and that the former lieutenant governor was recently served some paperwork associated with an upcoming court proceeding that apparently led to this incident last night."
"Police had been called to the residence once prior, in January of this year, when Justin Fairfax accused his wife of assault. Officers determined no incident had occurred after reviewing footage from cameras Cerina Fairfax had set up inside the house."
Justin Fairfax, former lieutenant governor of Virginia, shot and killed his wife Cerina before taking his own life during a domestic dispute related to their divorce. The incident occurred at their home in Annandale, Virginia, after a 911 call from one of their teenage children.

Their two teenage children were present during the tragic event, and police had previously responded to the residence regarding an assault accusation made by Fairfax.
