State Department Official Identified As Suspect In Deadly Alleged Road Rage Stabbing
Daily Caller ^ | 03/02/2026 | Derek VanBuskirk

Posted on 03/03/2026 3:45:55 AM PST by DFG

The U.S. State Department confirmed to the Daily Caller that the deceased suspect in a mass stabbing outside Washington, D.C., on Sunday was employed by the department.

A State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller that the 32-year-old suspect, Jared Llamado of McLean, Virginia, was working for the department at the time of the alleged stabbing and his death.

A Virginia State Police trooper responded Sunday afternoon to reports of road rage on Interstate 495 in Fairfax County, where he was allegedly confronted by Llamado, who was wielding a knife after having stabbed four victims.

The stabbing resulted in the death of 39-year-old Michelle Adams and a dog, according to Virginia State Police. Three others were taken to nearby hospitals with serious injuries.

The trooper shot Llamado “in self-defense,” according to the police statement. Llamado was transported to a hospital and died as a result of his injuries.

The State Department spokesperson said the department is “aware of the tragic incident that involved a Foreign Service officer” and that it shares its “deepest condolences to all those affected by this tragedy.”

According to Llamado’s LinkedIn, he worked as a diplomatic technology officer for the Department of State from September 2024 until the time of his death, where he worked with “information technology systems and software applications relevant to diplomatic functions.”

The State Department spokesperson referred details of the incident and the investigation to the Virginia State Police.

The shooting and the crash that led to the initial confrontation are still under investigation, the Virginia State Police stated.

They noted the incident is not believed to be terrorism-related, following local concerns.

IT guy with a degree from George Mason U., a pretty good school from what I’ve heard. Pretty bizarre that he escalated an auto accident into a multiparty knifing. Guessing that the eventual tox screen will show that this young man wasn’t drug-free. Fairly good chance that Sunday was a wake-and-bake day for him. Tragic outcome for his victims.

Maybe he was "disrespected". That's the universal excuse.

Perhaps youth should come with a warning label. Hinged behavior requires a hinge. The floor of his car may be littered with “Red-Bull” bottles.

I wondered about him carrying a knife, but would not be caught without one around DC.

Indeed he was. Start date Sep, 2024. Trump was inaugurated Jan, 2025.

It’s possible. But I’ve noticed a relatively new phenomenon that’s come into being over the past decade or so coinciding with weed legalization ... Sunday has become the big “get high” day for the class of stoners who hold down regular jobs. Where I live, if you walk around neighborhoods with a lot of apartments on a Sun afternoon, nearly every block is filled with the stench of weed.

He’s a faggot.
Maybe transitioning- all screwed up on tranny drugs.
Just a guess- but it’s what I think

Very plausible.

Or just a leftist typical of the State Department and a severe case of TDS making him lash out wildly since his leftist safe space at the State Department is being dismantled.

Chill...

Step away from the coffee pot and maybe have a drink of water... have something to eat if you haven't yet, and maybe the need to extravagantly infer things will subside...
