WASHINGTON – Thomas R. Lienau of Springfield, Virginia, has been charged with second degree murder in the investigation of the death of Mohammed Moshin Najim, 25.
The 53-year-old suspect was an acquaintance of the victim, police say.
On Thursday, July 16, Fairfax County police responded to a report of a disturbance at a home on the 8100 block of Curving Creek Court.
