Justin Chase Prillaman, 20, was shot and killed on July 14, 2020, inside a residence on the 100 block of Salthouse Branch Road in Henry, Virginia. Deputies from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office found him deceased that Tuesday morning; his younger brother, 18-year-old James Matthew Prillaman, was also found at the scene with gunshot wounds and taken to a hospital.

An investigation produced arrests of four people: Qu’Shawn Manns, Te’Sean Brooks, Sean Schwallenberg, and Leon Mitchell. They were indicted on charges including non-capital first-degree murder, malicious wounding, conspiracy to commit burglary, robbery of a residence with a gun, statutory burglary, and multiple firearm offenses.

In January 2022 Manns went to trial; a jury convicted him on 12 of 14 counts, including malicious wounding and conspiracy to commit burglary, but could not reach a unanimous verdict on the non-capital first-degree murder count. Manns later entered a guilty plea to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Anyone with information about Justin, his brother, or the events that morning is asked to come forward.
