On the night of April 3, 2015, police answered a call to the Loyalty Inn in Petersburg, Virginia, and found two people shot to death. William Thurston III, 39, and 35-year-old Kimberly Eledge were both killed; the deaths were reported just before 11:30 p.m.

Within two days investigators arrested 23-year-old Marcus Harmon, described as a mutual acquaintance of the victims. Harmon was charged with first-degree murder and multiple firearm offenses, including possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. William Thurston, known to friends and family as Billy, lived in Chesterfield and worked as a grounds worker at Fort Lee; he left behind an 11-year-old daughter.

The motive has not been disclosed. Did anyone who knew William, Kimberly, or Marcus notice tensions or events in the days before April 3 that could help explain what happened?
