Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Another Brutal Virginia Murder

Another illegal immigrant has been accused of murder in Virginia.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, 38, who allegedly repeatedly stabbed a man to death in Fairfax County Sunday, as a “criminal illegal alien from Guatemala,” according to ABC7.

Authorities found the victim inside a home with multiple stab wounds in his upper body Sunday, ABC7 reported. He later died at the hospital.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office, which has notoriously flouted the federal immigration agency’s demands to hand over illegal immigrant criminals.

Meanwhile, DHS has placed the blame on Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger for the tragic killing, calling her out for another recent murder by an illegal immigrant.

Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh, 32, who had 30 prior arrests, allegedly murdered 41-year-old mother Stephanie Minter at a Fairfax County bus stop last month. Jalloh’s rap sheet included arrests for rape, malicious wounding, assault, drug possession, identity theft, trespassing, larceny, firing a weapon, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and pickpocketing, according to DHS.

Spanberger earlier said ICE’s detainer for Jalloh’s arrest wouldn’t be enough for local law enforcement to hand him over to immigration authorities for deportation.

“ICE is calling on Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and Virginia’s sanctuary politicians to not release this murderer back into our communities,” DHS Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Lauren Bis told ABC7. “This incident comes just one month after an innocent woman was murdered by another criminal illegal alien at a bus stop in Spanberger’s state. Open-border policies yet again have caused another preventable tragedy.”

When Spanberger entered office, she ended a cooperation agreement between state and local law enforcement and ICE. The day after Minter’s murder, the governor characterized ICE as “unaccountable agents” who “terrorize our communities” in the Democratic response to the State of the Union.

In almost every one of Jalloh’s previous cases, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office dropped the charges, ABC7 previously reported.

Authorities also previously warned about the dangers he posed to the community.

An officer with the Fairfax County Police Department notified Descano’s office in November, cautioning that he could continue to commit crimes if he’s released, according to emails obtained by 7News reporter Nick Minock.

Muy was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.

DHS said he snuck into the country as a “gotaway,” which means he made it past border authorities without detection, according to ABC7.

Muy also had an assault and battery charge from November 2024, when he was accused of punching a woman and attempting to strangle her, the outlet reported. A judge later dismissed the charge.

The Arlington Commonwealth’s Attorney said the charge “was dismissed at the request of the victim pursuant to 19.2-151, an accord and satisfaction,” in a statement to ABC7.

“Under that statute, the courts have discretion to dismiss a misdemeanor assault case (which this was charged as) when a defendant pays restitution to a victim. Here, the victim had expressed that the most important issue to them was restitution, which was paid. We try to honor the wishes of a victim, even though I do not favor resolution of cases by accord and satisfaction where violence is involved,” the attorney said.
