Lawson was charged with one count of murder and assault on a female and was being held in the Stokes County Jail without bond while the investigation continued.

Brian is survived by his wife Lisa; daughters Megan and Leah; step-sons Charlie and Richard Mendenhall; and his parents Douglas J. Sells and Leah M. Sells. The case drew attention locally because it arose from a family dispute and left the community seeking answers.
