Loudoun County deputies spent Sunday searching for a 30-year-old man they describe as armed and dangerous after responding to a domestic-related incident in Aldie. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said it is looking for Christian De Jesus Santiago, who was last seen traveling on foot and should not be approached under any circumstances.
Deputies were called to the 41000 block of Conejo Way, near Northstar Boulevard, for a report of an incident that appeared domestic in nature, according to FOX 5 DC. The outlet reported that deputies responded at 11:55 a.m. and quickly issued a be-on-the-lookout notice for Santiago afterward.
Earlier Sunday, the sheriff's office had warned residents about a heavy law enforcement presence in that same block of Conejo Way, according to Daily Voice. The report described Santiago as approximately 30 years old and said the incident was reported Sunday, Nov. 1, in the area of Conejo Way and Northstar Boulevard in Aldie.
What Santiago Was Wearing
Santiago was last seen traveling on foot around noon, wearing a black baseball hat, black pants and a black shirt featuring a ghost design, per the FOX 5 DC report. As reported by DC News Now, Santiago is described as a Hispanic man with brown eyes, black hair and a Playboy bunny tattoo under his right eye.
Officials consider Santiago armed and dangerous and have asked the public not to approach him, per deputies. Authorities believe he may still be traveling on foot, the same report noted, though his exact whereabouts have not been confirmed.
Update Says He May Have Left The County
In an update posted to X, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said deputies no longer believe Santiago is in Loudoun County, according to DC News Now's reporting. That update marks a shift from the earlier search focused around the Aldie neighborhood where the incident was first reported.
The sheriff's office asked anyone who sees Santiago to call 911 immediately rather than make contact with him. Anyone with other information about his whereabouts was asked to call the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office at (703) 777-1021.
