Melford Edison Holloway Jr., 44, of Eden, North Carolina, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound on June 24, 2021. Eden police were called about a gunshot victim around 2:09 a.m. and discovered Holloway’s body at the scene.

Investigators identified 42-year-old Vincent Lee Broadnax of Reidsville as a suspect and arrested him without incident at Stoney Brook Apartments just outside of Eden. Broadnax was charged with one count of felony first-degree murder and held without bond; he was scheduled to appear in Rockingham County District Court on July 8, 2021. The investigation remains ongoing and police have asked anyone with information to come forward.

Holloway was a lifelong Rockingham County resident and an avid sports fan; his funeral was held June 30, 2021, at Greenview Cemetery in Reidsville. Does anyone have information about Holloway’s last known movements or who might have seen him the night of June 23–24, 2021?
