When this story first broke this morning, I thought it was unlikely to be jihad-related.

A woman was deliberately run over and killed in the middle of an intersection in Fairfax County, Virginia (Rt. 50 and Rugby Road, which is roughly in the Chantilly area, I think). Just to make sure she was dead, the perp ran over her twice, then sped away. Police said they were looking for a blond or sandy-haired man.

It sounded like a domestic incident — angry lover-boy runs over his cheating girlfriend. Wouldn’t be the first time.

But then this afternoon the identity of the victim was revealed, and she was 75 years old. Hmm.

Then the perp was arrested, and his name was (is) Kenan Ozcan. A Turkish name. Hmm again.

The news stories listed only his middle initial, M. Yet another hmm.

And sure enough, a little research turns up his full name: Kenan Mehmet Ozcan

In other words, this morning’s deadly incident in Fairfax County has a Mohammed Coefficient of 100%.

It’s a strange form of jihad, however — running down a solo pedestrian. Why not a crowded bus stop, or the parking lot of a popular eatery?

We may or may not ever learn the answer to that question.

I don’t know where Mr. Ozcan was born, but he attended both George Mason University and Virginia Tech. He seems to live in Reston.

He has a police record for armed robbery — several years ago he was arrested, convicted, and jailed, also in Fairfax County.

Some time afterwards he set up this GoFundMe page:

Hello, Im a Virginia Tech Graduate , and I have my Masters in Biology, however I have been going thru some tough times recenetly and I am an ex-felon, I thought going to school would change my life and I could really use any support to help my life, I really appreciate it.

It doesn’t seem to have done him much good.

That’s all I have on the story so far. The excerpts below are from various articles posted today, the earliest one first:

Police: Woman Killed in ‘Intentional’ Fairfax Hit-and-Run
