In Halifax Circuit Court, he was also sentenced to 18 years for related firearms offenses. According to the Halifax Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, Aly “willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation” killed Bianda and Griffin in February 2020. Bianda had agreed to drive Aly from Alexandria to Danville. Griffin, Joel’s girlfriend, went along for the ride. Aly had told Bianda he needed a ride to Alexandria to pick up a friend. Aly took a gun with him, a 9 mm, which he had picked up in Alexandria from, in his words, a “marked location.”
