Events that took place in Fairfax County in January, 1999:
- January 2 – 17-year-old Troy Wooten mortally injures 21-year-old Jason Baughman when he provides the coda to Baughman's assault on his pregnant ex-girlfriend Megan Craig by smashing Baughman's skull with a two-foot steel pipe.[1] Baughman is flown to the Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he dies two days later.[2]

- January 13 – A failed business negotiation in a Fairfax parking lot results in the shooting deaths of 22-year-old Robert J. Davidson and 16-year-old Alexander D. Szymkowicz. The negotiation was in fact a ruse by recreational agricultural products salesman John P. Michaelangelo to steal $900 from a group of three youths which included Szymkowicz. When Davidson brandished a cigarette lighter shaped like a handgun in furtherance of the attempted rip-off, Szymkowicz reciprocated by brandishing a handgun shaped like a handgun and fatally shot Davidson in the chest. Michaelangelo then wrestled the gun away from Szymkowicz and shot him in the head.[4][5]
