Bryan Emmanuel Khopkar, 39, was found shot to death on December 19, 2022, in Fletcher, North Carolina. His body was discovered inside a vehicle parked at a Shell gas station on Mills Gap Road alongside 26-year-old Sandy Elizabeth Torrey, who was also shot to death. The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office identified both victims and opened an investigation into the double homicide.

Investigators say the fatal shootings followed a violent altercation between the victims and several suspects. Authorities identified and arrested multiple people: Cody Wayne Dockins, 34, of Buncombe County, and Godiet Corral, 32, of Henderson County, were charged with first-degree murder; Russell Allen Wilson Squire, 34, of Fletcher, and Christine Nicole Moore, 34, were charged with accessory after the fact. Security camera video from the gas station and other physical evidence were reported as important to reconstructing events.

Anyone with information about the incident or who saw activity at the Mills Gap Road Shell on December 19, 2022, is asked to come forward.
