Dale City, Va. — After a man was found dead inside his home late Thursday, neighbors say more needs to be done to protect their community. Police are investigating it as a homicide.
“We have asked many times for a night security guard to watch over things here at night, but we’re always told that if we don’t like it we can leave,” said one resident outside the Dale City’s River Run Senior Apartments on Friday – the complex where the victim was found.
Jubair Ahmad, 24, a Pakistani native who since 2007 has lived in Woodbridge, is charged with providing material to support Lashkar-e-Tayyiba – a designated terror organization, as well as making false statements during an investigation, according to U.S. Eastern District of Virginia Attorney Neil McBride.
In September, Ahmad made a video and uploaded to YouTube showing conversations with operatives believed to be connected to the terror group, said McBride. After several video exchanges between suspected members of the group and Jubair, the final video showed Lashkar-e-Tayyiba’s leader, Hafiz Saeed, with trucks exploding after being hit with improvised explosive devices, said McBride.

Sheriff’s deputies were called to the park site off Brooke Road near the Stafford County Landfill about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday when they got a call about a Jeep that had become stuck in mud. The caller — driver of the Jeep — told deputies that he had been left there by his friend.
“The Jeep was so muddy they couldn’t even see the license plates, even when the deputies tried to clear if off with their hands,” said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Kennedy.
Police said 31-year-old Christopher Terrebonne worked last year as a substitute teacher at Brooke Point High School, where he met the 16-year-old girl. On June 27, he invited the girl over to his home where the two had consensual sex.
Terrebonne will serve one month in jail, but since the girl was over 15-years-old and was not under Terrebonne’s supervision the crime does not qualify as a felony, Fredericksburg.com reported.
The plant had been closed and was undergoing renovations to reopen when he theft was reported, said Stafford sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
Six days later, detectives were back at the plant in an effort to catch the thieves, and were able to catch one man enter the plant at night. The arrest led to a two-month investigation that turned up evidence pointing to the seven others connected to the crime, said Kennedy.
