The man charged with gunning down the CEO of a Washington, D.C.- based nonprofit previously dated his widow and was trying to “reconnect” with her, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Joshua Daniel Danehower, 33, allegedly fired 10 shots at Gret Glyer shortly before 2:58 a.m. on June 24.

Glyer, 32, had been asleep in his bed next to his wife, Heather Glyer. The couple’s two young children, both under 2 years old, were also in the Bolton Village Court house in Fairfax, Virginia, according to police.

“[Defendant] walked into the unlocked back door of the victim’s home and shot him 10 times in his bed,” according to a bail detention letter, citing information provided by detectives.

“Def had been regularly reaching out to the victim’s wife, his ex-girlfriend, whom he wanted to reconnect with,” the letter states. “There are still major concerns for her safety and those close to her.”

After the shooting, Heather Glyer called 911 and told them she “heard a loud noise” and believed that her husband had been wounded, officials said.

Captain Jeff Hunt, of the Fairfax County Police Department, told reporters that a tipster identified Danehower as a possibly suspect.

He was arrested on charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony on Tuesday at Dulles International Airport, where he had worked for FedEx.

At the bail hearing Wednesday morning in Fairfax County General District Court, Danehower allegedly asked, “Can I order a pizza?”
