Police: Son stabs stepfather to death in Fairfax Co.

The man is also accused of stabbing his mother, who was taken to an area hospital and is expected to survive.

MCLEAN, Va. — Homicide detectives continue to investigate after a man was found stabbed to death in McLean, Virginia, late Tuesday night. 

Officers with the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) responded to a report of a stabbing at a home in the 1200 block of Colonial Road near Kings Manor Park in McLean just after 11 p.m. 

According to FCPD, the person who called for help said her son, who also lives in the home, stabbed both her and her husband. 

When officers arrived, 39-year-old Adam Timothy Jackson Jr. came outside and was taken into custody. 

Investigators found Jackson's stepfather, 68-year-old Alan Miller Kaufman, suffering from a stab wound inside the home. First responders attempted to help Kaufman but he died at the home. 

The mother who called for help was taken to an area hospital for help and is expected to survive.

“I’m really shocked. I’ve lived here my whole live, and I’ve known them my whole life. They’re a wonderful family, so I’m very, very surprised," said Noemi Lucciola, who lives right next door to the home.

Jackson has been charged with second-degree murder. He remains at the Adult Detention Center on no bond. 

Fairfax County was wracked by 22 murders last year, nearly half of them were domestic. The police chief suspects stress, anxiety and isolation are contributing to domestic violence, and shaking otherwise peaceful neighborhoods.

Roads in the area were closed for the investigation, but have since reopened. Detectives are still investigating exactly what happened. Investigators have not yet identified the man killed, or given any additional information about the suspect in this case. 

Anyone who may have additional information should contact Fairfax County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS.
