Police in northern Virginia say they are investigating the killing of a Muslim teenager Sunday as an incident of road rage.

Fairfax County authorities said there is “no indication” that the death of 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen was a hate crime, the Washington Post reports.
Darwin Martinez Torres, 22, has been charged with her murder. The Associated Press reports that he has been denied bail pending a court appearance on July 19.
