Dwayne Garvey, a 27-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on December 2, 2016, in Raleigh, North Carolina. He and his longtime girlfriend, April Holland, were found dead in a motel room at the America’s Best Value Inn near Crabtree Valley Mall; Garvey suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators reported the pair were involved in a prostitution enterprise, with Holland working as a prostitute and Garvey acting as her partner. On the night of the killings, Seaga Edward Gillard and Brandon Hill responded to an online ad and went to the motel. Surveillance footage captured a hallway confrontation and the subsequent shooting; prosecutors said Gillard and Hill fired nine shots and the victims were killed within about ten seconds.

Seaga Edward Gillard, 28, was arrested and charged in the killings and later convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, attempted robbery with a firearm, and attempted first-degree rape; he was sentenced to death. Authorities launched a manhunt for Brandon Hill, who was described as armed and dangerous; Hill’s girlfriend, Brittany Hooks, was later arrested on a felony speeding to elude charge for driving during a high-speed chase.

Garvey’s mother, Jacqueline Garvey, spoke about the loss to the family and the effect on Garvey’s children. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Garvey or Holland?
