Malcolm Ausborne, 32, of Martinsville, Virginia, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 18, 2018. Deputies responding to a 911 call about a shooting at a residence on Dawnridge Lane in Henry found Ausborne in the doorway with a critical gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Inside the home, 49-year-old Brian Alan Spencer, also of Henry, was located. A witness told investigators that Ausborne and Spencer had been drinking together when an argument escalated and Spencer allegedly shot Ausborne in the head. Spencer was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder; he was held at the Western Virginia Regional Jail without bond. The prosecution’s case included witness testimony and forensic findings, while Spencer said the shooting was an accident.

A court later found Brian Alan Spencer guilty of second-degree murder and imposed a lengthy prison sentence. Does anyone have information about Ausborne’s last hours or who might have been present that night?
