• Detectives Investigate Domestic-Related Murder-Suicide in Centreville (fcpdnews.org) — Two 31-year-old spouses were found dead from gunshot wounds in their Centreville home on Sharps Drive, in what Fairfax County detectives believe was a domestic-related murder-suicide with three children present but unharmed. Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Major Crimes Bureau or submit anonymous tips, and victim specialists are working to support the affected family.
• Psych class inspires teenager (fairfaxtimes.com) — A Centreville High School student turned her AP Psychology class into action by creating MindMoments, an interactive brain-health program for seniors at Gardens Assisted Living. Her sessions on memory, intelligence, and the hippocampus are inspiring local older adults to try new activities, and she's now working to expand the program to help children understand how their brains work too.
• Public Safety - Week of September 11, 2026 (fairfaxtimes.com) — A 20-year-old man has been sentenced to 10 years, with four suspended, for the 2024 shooting death of an 18-year-old outside a Centreville Dunkin' Donuts off Route 29. The wider public safety update also highlights recent Fairfax County arrests aided by technology, a deadly Labor Day I-66 crash, fire incidents, a burglary investigation, safe battery disposal guidance, and the county's deer archery program.
