Michael Chuop

Michael Chuop (b. January 12, 1980) is a murderer.

On February 27, 1998, Chuop, a member of the Tiny Rascal Gangsters youth organization, fired a sawed-off rifle at a Chevrolet Monte Carlo parked outside George C. Marshall High School in Falls Church, attempting to kill the passenger, 18-year-old John C. Metcalfe, who had been in a fight with and badly beaten Chuop's brother the day before. Metcalfe ducked and Chuop instead shot the driver, 17-year-old David C. Albrecht, in the head, killing him.[1][2]

Chuop was quickly arrested, and plead guilty to first-degree murder on June 17, 1998.[1] Judge Michael P. McWeeny sentenced Chuop to life in prison on September 18.[3]
