Deangelo Tyrone Griffin, 27, was found dead in a ditch along Brittles Mill Road just outside Wakefield, Virginia, on the morning of April 5, 2020. The Sussex County Sheriff’s Office responded to a wooded area that Sunday and determined Griffin had suffered a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was born October 27, 1993, and the shooting left family and the small community mourning.

Authorities publicly identified Griffin in the days after the discovery and asked anyone with information to come forward. A graveside service was held April 11, 2020, at Lankford Family Cemetery in Sedley.

If anyone knew Deangelo, saw activity along Brittles Mill Road that morning, or has information that could help investigators, please share what you know.
