On the morning of July 16, 2022, 48-year-old landscaping contractor Adrian Dejesus Rivera Guzman, an immigrant from El Salvador, was shot and killed while working at the Assembly Alexandria apartment complex in Alexandria, Virginia. His 24-year-old stepson, Juan Carlos Anaya Hernandez, was also killed in the same attack. Police responded to reports of a residential burglary and shots fired at about 7:28 a.m.; one victim died at the scene and the other was taken to hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say the shootings followed multiple reports of a man breaking into units at the complex. Police apprehended a 27-year-old, Francis Deonte Rose, the day of the incident; officers later found him hiding under a bed. Rose was initially charged with burglary and unlawful entry and was later charged in connection with the two deaths. Court filings state Rose pleaded not guilty and claimed self-defense, while prosecutors argued the killings were unprovoked.
