A long-running property dispute in a Spotsylvania County neighborhood outside Fredericksburg ended in deadly violence on May 21, 2017. Guy Prudhomme, 65, was shot once in the chest and pronounced dead in the driveway of his home after a verbal argument over a property line escalated. Prudhomme had a landscaping crew working on his property at the time; his 80-year-old neighbor, Larry Keith Johnston, reportedly became angered, believing the crew was working on his land.

Deputies later located Johnston at his home and took him into custody without incident. Landscape workers who witnessed the shooting identified Johnston as the shooter. He was charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and was being held without bond. Few details are available about the yearslong dispute other than that police had not previously been called to intervene.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know about ongoing tensions between the two men or see the landscaping work that day?
