Travis Osborne, 46, of Rainelle, West Virginia, died on August 4, 2024, after a property dispute in the Rainelle area turned violent. Deputies from the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Department were called about 12:27 p.m. that Sunday after a confrontation involving three people escalated into gunfire and Osborne was struck. He was taken to a medical facility outside the immediate area and later died of his injuries.

Reports say the dispute was over property, but they do not explain what property was at issue, how the argument began, or Osborne’s relationship to the two other people involved. Investigators processed the scene with assistance from the West Virginia State Police and Greenbrier County EMS, and Sheriff Bruce Sloan said prosecutors were being consulted to determine whether charges should be filed. No arrests or suspect identities had been released in the immediate aftermath, and the investigation remained active.

If anyone witnessed the August 4 incident or has information about the property dispute or the people involved, please share what is known.
