FAIRFAX CITY, VA — An Arlington man charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Fairfax City resident and DonorSee CEO Gret Glyer had his competency hearing pushed back to August, according to court records.
Joshua Danehower, 33, was in Fairfax County Circuit Court on Friday for a competency hearing, but Judge Stephen Shannon had yet to receive the results of the suspect’s competency evaluation. A new hearing was scheduled for 10 a.m. on Aug. 23. If at that point Danehower is found competent, a trial date will be set.
On Jan. 19, 2023, a Fairfax County grand jury indicted Danehower on two counts of felony murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, according to a release from Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office.

Officers in June 2022 said Danehower was an “acquaintance” of the family and that it was a tip that ultimately led to his arrest five days after Glyer’s body was found.
“We conducted interviews. Someone came forward and said we should look at Danehower,” police said during a June 29, 2022 news conference. “There is no reason to believe he was colluding with anyone, and we believe he acted alone.”
Police linked Danehower to the crime after analyzing bullet casings found at the scene of the shooting, according to the release.
