Police believe there was a fight in which his wife was killed and the decided to staged a collision between his vehicle and a parked car on the side of the road in an attempt to explain her injuries.

Not generally known is that Muhammad and Malvo admired Al Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks and had a history of black and Islamic nationalism, and had started a spree of killings across several states starting in Washington since February. The Beltway sniper attacks were a series of coordinated shootings that took place during three weeks in October 2002 in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. were a series of coordinated shootings that took place during three weeks in October 2002 in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Ten people were killed and three other victims were critically injured in several locations throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and along Interstate 95 in Virginia. It was later learned that the rampage was perpetrated by one man, John Allen Muhammad, and one minor, Lee Boyd Malvo In September 2003, Muhammad was sentenced to death. One month later, Malvo was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole. On November 10, 2009, Muhammad was executed by lethal injection. Malvo wrote about what he termed "jihad" but these musings were dismissed as immaterial. Some investigators reportedly said they had all but eliminated terrorist ties or political ideologies as a motive. Nonetheless, in at least one of the ensuing murder trials, a Virginia court found Muhammad guilty of killing "pursuant to the direction or order" of terrorism A series of trial exhibits suggested Malvo and Muhammad were motivated by an affinity for Islamist Jihad.[34]
