On Thanksgiving morning 2015 a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by 54-year-old Douglas Ceasa Wheeler veered off Height School Road in Pamplin, Virginia and struck a fence. First responders discovered Wheeler had a life-threatening gunshot wound; the crash was a consequence of violence inside the vehicle. He was airlifted to UVA Hospital and died the next day.

Two passengers from the car, Ricky L. Jennings, 56, and Robert D.A. Walker, 44, both of Pamplin, were involved in the resulting investigation. Jennings was taken into custody at the scene; Walker fled on foot and was arrested several days later at a residence in Appomattox County. A firearm thought to be connected to the shooting was recovered near the crashed vehicle.

Initial charges named Walker on a first-degree murder count and Jennings on several weapons and assault charges. A Prince Edward grand jury later indicted Jennings on first-degree murder, malicious assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and other weapons counts, while Walker was indicted for being an accessory after the fact to homicide. Both were due to stand trial July 13, 2016. Does anyone have information about the events that morning or knew Douglas Wheeler?
