Shooting of Mia Bieniemy in Loudoun County | Washington DC News

A dramatic courtroom hearing unfolds today in Loudoun County as Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, faces charges for shooting his mother, Mia Bieniemy — wife of former Commanders coach Eric Bieniemy — during a July 26 incident at their Ashburn home. Elijah allegedly fired a Ruger .22, striking Mia twice — one bullet pierced her chest — requiring surgery and leaving a fragment lodged inside her. Though she’s now stable and out of ICU, the case looms large, with Elijah’s preliminary hearing set for August 31 and potential prison time of up to 33 years if convicted. Motions are being heard today — and motive remains a mystery.
