Fairfax, Virginia — On April 23, 2025, at 2:36 p.m., an officer with the Fairfax County Police Department conducted a traffic stop in the 4000 block of Majestic Lane after noticing an expired safety sticker on the front window of a 1999 Toyota Corolla. The car was being driven by 36-year-old Jamal Wali of Fairfax. Wali was argumentative and refused to obey commands. Backup was called and once on scene, Wali unholstered a weapon and fired one shot at through the driver’s side window. He attempted to fire a second shot, but it didn’t discharge due to a malfunction. The bullet that Wali fired traveled through the bicep of one officer, then through the forearm of another officer before traveling across the street and shattering the back windshield of another parked car. Both officers were treated at a local hospital and later released. A third officer standing on the passenger side of the vehicle discharged his weapon, striking Wali four times. Wali was transported to a nearby hospital and was later pronounced deceased.
