Michael Jerome Hairston, 46, of Martinsville, Virginia, was found dead in his Summit View Drive apartment on October 23, 2023, after a welfare check when he failed to report to work. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head, and investigators believe the homicide occurred about two days earlier.

Investigators reconstructed part of October 21, 2023: Hairston reportedly returned to his apartment at about 5:12 p.m. A neighbor’s doorbell camera recorded a male and a female arriving at the residence around 7:08 p.m.; the pair entered and left several minutes later. A 2008 Audi was seen leaving the area shortly after. Those leads resulted in the arrests of 19-year-old Angelina Jai’lynn Spade of Hardy, Virginia, and 44-year-old Louis Jerrell Webb of Ferrum, Virginia.

A Henry County grand jury later indicted both suspects. Spade faces first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Webb was indicted on aggravated murder for hire, conspiracy to commit aggravated murder for hire, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a violent felon.

If anyone has information about Hairston, the events of October 21–23, 2023, or the 2008 Audi seen leaving the area, please share what is known.
