Shortly after 3 a.m. on November 23, 2018, a 911 call about a dispute involving a firearm brought officers to an apartment complex in Grants Pass, Oregon. Responding police found two men dead from gunshot wounds; both deaths were ruled homicides.

One victim was identified as Justin Scott Severnak, 38, of Salt Lake City, Utah. The other was 42-year-old Christopher Wayne Lyon. Friends and family remembered Severnak as a loving father, husband, son and brother, known for his charismatic personality, sense of humor and a passion for cooking, including his mean BBQ.

A third man who had been at the scene was detained and later identified as 44-year-old Trevor A. Gilmore of Grants Pass. Gilmore was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated murder and unlawful use of a firearm. The Josephine County District Attorney’s Office and Oregon State Police assisted in the investigation.

If anyone has information about the early-morning disturbance at that apartment complex, please share what you know.
