On February 8, 2020, the bodies of 21-year-old Ntombo Joel Bianda of Alexandria, Virginia, and his 19-year-old girlfriend Ayanna Munne Maertens Griffin of Germantown, Maryland, were found in the grassy median of an isolated stretch of Route 58 in Alton, Virginia, near Bianda’s silver Nissan Maxima. Both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. The scene was initially treated as a single-vehicle crash before investigators determined it was a double homicide.

Virginia State Police investigators say Bianda had been driving Aly from Alexandria to Danville with Griffin in the car when Aly told Bianda to pull over. As Bianda complied, Aly shot him; after the shooting Aly apparently parked the vehicle in the median, left both victims, and drove away. Aly was arrested on February 13, 2020, and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and related firearm counts. A 17-year-old male from Danville was also arrested on obstruction and accessory-after-the-fact charges. The motive remains unknown.

Did anyone in the Alexandria or Danville areas know Bianda or Griffin, or see the Nissan Maxima that night?
