Travis J. Turnage was 37 and from Franklin County when he was one of two men fatally shot at a Hanover Avenue NW residence in Roanoke on the night of October 30, 2018. Officers who responded to a shots-fired call found Turnage and 42-year-old Jacob Sallah dead; police described the scene as a double homicide. The next morning Roanoke police arrested 30-year-old Dominic S. Townes of Roanoke and charged him with two counts of second-degree murder in connection with both deaths.

Vigils were held as friends, family and neighbors mourned the losses and offered one another support. The prosecution later presented its case at trial and a jury returned guilty verdicts against Townes, concluding the criminal proceedings in the killings of Turnage and Sallah.
