Ryan Douglas Burroughs, 34, of Stoneville, North Carolina, was found dead of a gunshot wound on October 17, 2022, on Wimbish Road. He was discovered outside near an outbuilding on the property. According to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, Burroughs had confronted another man who was lawfully on the property; during the confrontation Burroughs reportedly produced a handgun and fired several shots into the ground before pointing the weapon at the other man. That man, who had a handgun on his person, then shot Burroughs.

The man who fired the fatal shot called 911 to report the incident. Authorities have not released his identity while the investigation remains active. District Attorney Jason Ramey is being consulted on investigative findings. No arrests have been announced and officials say they are continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses.
