Lee Boyd Malvo was 17 when he and John Allen Muhammad killed 10 people and wounded three others over a three-week span in October 2002.
Virginia corrections officials have denied parole to convicted Washington, D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo, ruling that he is still a risk to the community two decades after he and his partner shot and killed 10 people.
Malvo was convicted of capital murder in Virginia and sentenced to life in prison without parole. However, a series of Supreme Court rulings and a change in Virginia law gave Malvo the opportunity to seek parole after serving nearly 20 years in custody. “Release at this time would diminish seriousness of crime; Serious nature and circumstances of your offense,” the Parole Board wrote.
Malvo was a 15-year-old from Jamaica sent to live in Antigua when he met the much older Muhammad. Muhammad trained and indoctrinated Malvo, and in 2002, the pair embarked on a nationwide killing spree that ended with the 10 slayings in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
