On December 16, 2022, Devyne Briggs, 28, was fatally shot at the home of his ex-wife, Paige Jordan Vannorsdall, in the 800 block of Southeast Sun Drive in Madras, Oregon. Briggs had been there to pick up his 6-year-old son. Madras officers found Briggs with multiple gunshot wounds and he was declared dead at 6:13 p.m. Investigators with the Tri-County Major Incident Team reported more than one shot was fired and that other people were present in the home; specifics about the weapon and the exact number of wounds were withheld pending autopsy results.

Vannorsdall, 26 at the time, was arrested and booked without bail and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and unlawful use of a weapon, all listed as domestic violence offenses. A grand jury returned an indictment and she pleaded not guilty at arraignment. The case record includes prior family court action: in July 2022 Vannorsdall obtained an order alleging their son had disclosed abuse by Briggs, but that order was dismissed in August 2022 for lack of clear and convincing evidence and the original parenting plan was reinstated.

Does anyone have information about contacts, visitors, or events at the Madras residence on December 16, 2022?
