Steven Ray Seay, 47, known as Stevie, was fatally shot outside his home on Monahan Road in Varina, Henrico County, Virginia, on the afternoon of September 3, 2019. He worked at Seay’s Termite & Pest Control and is remembered by family and neighbors for his kindly nature, generous spirit, and infectious smile. He is survived by his son, fiancée, father, and siblings.

Authorities arrested a family member in connection with the killing. Steven’s 26-year-old nephew, James Thomas Seay Jr., was taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was being held without bond and had a court appearance scheduled later that month. The community continues to reel from a homicide that occurred within a family circle.

If anyone knew Steven or has information about what happened that afternoon, please come forward.
