From the New York Post: A mother was stabbed to death at a Virginia bus stop by an illegal immigrant with dozens of prior arrests, including for rape and assault, according to authorities.
Stephanie Minter, 41, was fatally stabbed, allegedly by Abdul Jalloh, a Sierra Leone national, at a bus stop on Richmond Highway in Fairfax County last Monday, according to Fairfax County Police and the Department of Homeland Security.
Minter, of Fredericksburg, was found in the bus stop shelter with multiple stab wounds to her upper body. She was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Police identified Jalloh, 32, as the suspect in her killing after surveillance footage and interviews revealed he was the last person seen with Minter and had exited a bus with her, cops said.
DHS shared more details in a press release, as follows:
Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that on February 25, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer requesting Virginia not release a career criminal illegal alien with more than 30 arrests after the Fairfax County Police Department charged him for allegedly fatally stabbing a woman in the neck on Monday.
According to local reports, on Monday, February 23, Stephanie Minter, 41, of Fredericksburg was found dead at a local bus stop with multiple stab wounds to the upper body. Police later published a photo of Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, taken from a surveillance camera alerting the public that he should be considered “dangerous” and to call police if they see him. On Tuesday, February 24, a local business owner saw him and called police.
Police then arrested and charged Jalloh with murder. Jalloh was also charged with petit larceny for an additional crime that occurred earlier in the day.
Jalloh is an illegal alien from Sierra Leone who entered the U.S. illegally in 2012.
His criminal history includes more than 30 arrests for charges of rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and pick pocketing.
ICE previously lodged a detainer against Jalloh in 2020, and he was granted a final order of removal by a judge who found he could be removed to any country other than Sierra Leone. This case illustrated the importance of third country removals to get criminal illegal aliens out of the U.S.
“We are calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer and violent career criminal from their jail without notifying ICE,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This illegal alien’s murder of an innocent, beautiful American woman came less than 24 hours before Governor Spanberger’s demonization of ICE law enforcement. This heinous criminal is a perfect example of why we need cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions and the importance of third country removals for the safety of the American people.”
Governor Spanberger has signed an executive order that local and state law enforcement are no longer required to cooperate with ICE, repealing an order from her Republican predecessor, Governor Glenn Youngkin.

This isn’t the first time Jalloh has stabbed someone. NBC4 Washington reported:
Jalloh is already well-known to police and prosecutors. Court records show the unhoused man had a reputation for violence: An alleged rape in 2018 and then a series of four alleged stabbings. And more recently, before Monday’s alleged murder, two alleged assaults.
But only once was Jalloh convicted and sent to prison. In Feb. 2023, he stabbed a 73-year-old man so forcefully, the blade broke off the knife. He pleaded guilty to malicious wounding and was sentenced to serve two years with five years of time suspended.
Police say the stabbing that killed Minter is the fifth stabbing tied to Jalloh.
WJLA reporter Nick Minnock said he asked Gov. Spanberger’s office if she will hand over the illegal alien criminal to ICE.
