Jared Llamado Identified as Suspect in Fatal I-495 Road Rage Stabbing
Troopers kill alleged I-495 road-rage stabber who left 1 dead, 3 hurt
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — Virginia State Police have identified the suspect in Sunday’s fatal road rage stabbing along Interstate 495 as 32-year-old Jared Llamado of McLean, Virginia.
According to authorities, troopers responded at approximately 1:17 p.m. to reports of a road rage incident on the southbound lanes of I-495 near Exit 52.
Upon arrival, officers discovered four individuals suffering from stab wounds.
One of the victims, 39-year-old Michelle Adams, later died from her injuries.
A dog at the scene was also fatally stabbed.
Three additional victims were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries.
Investigators state that the stabbings occurred following a vehicle crash on the highway.
When troopers encountered Llamado, he was still armed with a knife believed to be the weapon used in the attack.
Police said he confronted officers and failed to comply with commands, prompting a trooper to discharge his firearm in self-defense. Llamado was pronounced dead at the scene.
The involved trooper was not injured during the encounter.
Video circulated online appears to show a female bystander attempting to intervene during the attack on Adams.
Authorities believe that individual may have also been stabbed while trying to stop the assault, though officials have not publicly confirmed specific victim identities beyond Adams.
The Virginia State Police emphasized that the incident is not believed to be terrorism-related.
The motive remains under investigation.
The violence caused significant traffic disruptions, with all southbound lanes of I-495’s Outer Loop between Gallows Road and Little River Turnpike temporarily closed for several hours. The roadway has since reopened.
The investigation remains ongoing.
