On Thanksgiving night, November 23, 2017, a domestic dispute in Chester, Virginia, ended in a triple homicide at the home of Christopher and Jeanett Gattis. Thirty-six-year-old Andrew Buthorn, his girlfriend Candice Kunze, 30, and Kunze’s mother Jeanett Gattis, 58, were found inside the house with fatal gunshot wounds after officers responded to a reported alarm.

Christopher R. Gattis, 58, Jeanett’s husband and a former youth pastor, was found at the scene and taken into custody. Prosecutors say the shooting began while the family was playing a board game; Gattis entered the kitchen and opened fire. Reports describe prior domestic conflict: Gattis had repeatedly objected to Kunze and Buthorn living in the home. All three victims were shot in the back, and Gattis later pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and received a 58-year prison sentence.

Does anyone have information about the events leading up to that Thanksgiving gathering or knew the victims personally?
