Virginia police announced Monday that they are investigating the
mysterious overnight shooting death of the founder of a Washington,
D.C.-based non-profit.
Following the June 24 murder of 32-year-old Gret Glyer, the City of
Fairfax, Virginia, Police Department stressed that there is no reason
to believe there is a broader threat to the community.
Police responded at 2:58 a.m. Friday to the 9800 block of Bolton
Village Court regarding a shooting that had just occurred. The
responding officers entered the residence and found a male who had
been shot with a firearm, according to the department press release
published Monday.
The victim, later identified as Glyer, who resided at the residence,
had succumbed to his injuries, the City of Fairfax Police Department
said and announced that they were investigating the death as a
homicide.
Glyer, founder of the non-profit DonorSee, moved into the Fairfax
neighborhood about six months ago with his wife and two young
children, neighbors told FOX 5 DC. His wife, Heather, dialed 911, and
police radio audio captured the dispatcher relaying that the woman
reported hearing a loud noise and said she believed an intruder had
possibly shot her husband.
The next-door neighbor reported hearing three gunshots. Glyer's two
young children were at home at the time of the shooting but were not
harmed, police told FOX 5.
Police also told the outlet that the home's rear door was open but did
not disclose whether there were signs of forced entry or if weapons
had been found.
"At this time, we have no reason to believe that there is a wider
threat to the community," the police department said Monday. "The City
of Fairfax Police Department is fully committed to investigating this
case thoroughly, and we look forward to speaking to anyone who has any knowledge or information about this case. We want to encourage the
public to call the police department if you see or hear anything
suspicious [to call] 703-385-7924. We value our relationship with the community, and we look forward to speaking with anyone who has any
information about this or any other matter."
"No one has been taken into custody or arrested at this time," City of
Fairfax Police Sgt. Lisa Gardner said in an email to Fox News Digital
Tuesday. "The autopsy was completed on Saturday and it was confirmed a homicide. At this time, our detectives are working hard and are
committed to solving this case. We have no further information to
release at this time but will update media as it is received."
"We will provide future updates in this case as information becomes
available," the department added. "We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to investigate this crime."
According to its website, DonorSee was founded by Glyer following a life-changing trip to Malawi, Africa, in 2013, during which time he
raised money to build a girls' school.
The non-profit is a global fundraising community, and through its
Humanity Fund, it seeks to end extreme poverty. The website now
encourages donations to the fund in Glyer's memory.
"Gret is a shining light that brought hope and joy to every life he
touched," DonorSee said in a statement Friday. "Our thoughts, love,
and prayers are with Gret's beloved wife Heather and their family."
The non-profit also orchestrated a fundraiser for Glyer's wife and
children.
The cause received at least $47,225 in donations as of Tuesday
morning.
"We continue to grieve the loss of our inspirational Founder and
friend, Gret Glyer," the non-profit said in another tweet Saturday.
"For anyone that would like to help, we have opened a project to raise
funds in support of Gret's wife Heather and their two young children.
