On June 24th at 2:58 AM City of Fairfax Police responded to 9804 Bolton Village Court in reference to a 911 call made from the residence. The caller stated that a person in the residence had been shot. Officers arrived at the residence and located Mr. Gret Glyer deceased in a bedroom.
Investigation revealed that an acquaintance of the family had entered the residence and fired multiple rounds at Mr. Glyer while he was asleep in bed. The investigation also revealed that Mr. Glyer’s wife was asleep at the time of the shooting and was lying in bed next to him. Mr. Glyer’s wife and children were escorted by officers from the home unharmed.
As a result of an investigation conducted by our Criminal Investigations Division a suspect was developed and probable cause was established. After consulting with the Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, arrest warrants were obtained for the suspect in this case.
Joshua Daniel Danehower, 33, of Arlington, VA was arrested and charged with one count of Second Degree Murder (18.2-32) and one count of Use of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony (18.2-53.1). The arrest was made on the evening of June 28, 2022 by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority with the assistance of the Arlington County Police Department at Dulles Airport where Danehower works. Danehower was transported to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and held without bond.
At this time, there is no reason to believe that Mr. Danehower was colluding with anyone else and it appears that he acted alone in the murder of Mr. Glyer.
