On Monday, May 5, following an exhaustive search, the United States Marshals Service arrested Joshua S. Puryear. 21, of 8645 Lenfant Place in Manassas, who was wanted for the stabbing death of Harbi Adam in Falls Church on April 27. Puryear was captured in Washington, D.C., where he is being detained awaiting extradition to Fairfax County.

Fairfax County Police said that on the day he was killed, April 27, Harbi Adam, 18, of 3533 Ellery Circle, and an unidentified adult male, also stabbed, were found by police responding to a report of a fight between two groups in the 3700 block of Powell Lane in the Falls Church area.

Police said both men were transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Adam, a senior at J.E.B. Stuart High School, was pronounced dead at the hospital. The other man survived.
