New charges of aggravated manslaughter and driving while intoxicated have been made against the suspect arrested for last week’s fatal crash on King Street.
The Alexandria Police Department announced the additional charges against suspect Jilmar Doria-Medina, the 42-year-old Fairfax man currently being held without bond in the Fairfax County Jail after the April 16 crash that took the life of 19-year-old Abdullahi Mumin.
Doria-Medina was initially charged with DWI and two counts of hit-and-run by the Fairfax County Police Department.
As previously reported, Mumin was struck near the intersection of King Street and Dawes Avenue at around 8:40 p.m. The striking vehicle, a gray Acura, then hit a light pole, knocking down power lines and temporarily shutting down the street. The suspect was first reported to have struck multiple vehicles, less than a mile away, in a parking lot in the 5100 block of Skyline Drive in Bailey’s Crossroads.
Doria-Medina got his driver’s license suspended for six months in 2016, after being found guilty of marijuana possession. He was also found guilty of being drunk in public in 2016 and paid a small fine. In 2019, he was found guilty three times for driving with a revoked or suspended license, and his sentences were all suspended. Doria-Medina also goes to court next month on four suspected HOT Lanes violations in February.
Doria-Medina will appear in court for this incident on June 10.
