On the evening of May 23, 2025, 39-year-old Jason Hann was shot and killed on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia, near a shopping center. Initial calls to police described a disorderly man jumping in and out of traffic; officials say that man was Hann. Reports say Hann jumped in front of a silver Tesla and kicked the vehicle. The Tesla’s driver, 18-year-old Kianmehr Shirinipaziziba of McLean, fired a single shot from a Glock 9mm that struck Hann. Hann was taken to a local hospital where he died.

Shirinipaziziba remained at the scene, called 911, and was taken into custody. Police recovered two firearms from his vehicle. He has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and several weapons-related felonies; his attorney has said he acted in self-defense. Court documents say Shirinipaziziba told police Hann kicked the car’s mirror and appeared to reach for his waistband, and witnesses reported seeing Hann act erratically and kick at a vehicle. No prior relationship between the two men has been reported. If anyone witnessed the encounter or has information about what happened that night, please share it with the Herndon Police Department.
