Following the fatal stabbing of a woman in D.C., Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has urged D.C. city leaders to address violent crime that he says is a result of the capital’s lax law enforcement.

“It has become painfully apparent that Washington, D.C., can protect neither its residents nor the thousands of Virginians who commute daily to the city for work or entertainment,” Miyares said in the letter to D.C. City Council and Mayor Muriel Bowser (pdf).
