FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — Authorities have charged a Maryland resident with murder following a fatal stabbing that occurred Friday night in Northern Virginia. Musa Kargbo, 42, is accused of killing 26-year-old Isha Koroma in Annandale.
The incident took place on Nov. 7 around 10 p.m. in the 3900 block of Terrace Drive. Responding to reports of a person with injuries, police found Koroma’s body lying in the street. She was declared dead at the scene due to trauma to her upper body.
