What happened: Loudoun County deputies responded Sunday night to an Ashburn, Virginia, home and found 57-year-old Mia Bieniemy with multiple gunshot wounds. Elijah Zion Bieniemy, 27, was arrested early Monday and is being held without bond, according to the sheriff's office.

Why it matters: Eric Bieniemy missed Monday's Kansas City workout to be with his family. Joe Bleymaier and Andy Heck will oversee his duties during the Chiefs' offensive installation.

By the numbers: Elijah Zion Bieniemy faces three charges: malicious wounding, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and discharge of a firearm inside a dwelling.

What to watch: The investigation remains ongoing. Kansas City's first full-squad training-camp practice is Wednesday.
