Virginia police who were responding to a tip opened the door to Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda’s home to find him shirtless and covered in blood.

When an officer asked what happened, Toshpulodzoda “turned around, placed his hands behind his back and said ‘I am guilty,’” according to a police report on the December 2019 incident in Vienna. Police then found his landlord’s body elsewhere in the house with mortal wounds. “We got into a fight and I stabbed him,” Toshpulodzoda said upon further questioning.
