Curtis Daniel ’Duke’ Pritchett, 55, was found shot in his backyard on Price Hairston Lane in Axton, Virginia, on March 15, 2015. He was taken to Memorial Hospital of Martinsville and Henry County but was pronounced dead on arrival. Reports say a heated argument preceded the shooting and that the confrontation involved two brothers.

Investigators identified Dwayne Lamont Lampkins (also known as Weed) and Avery Martez Lampkins as suspects. Avery surrendered the day after the shooting; Dwayne was arrested on April 2, 2015. Both were charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Several other people were later arrested and charged as accessories after the fact, including Kevin Preston, Albert Patrick Bowman, Telvin Oshea Hairston, Kierra Rishena Phillips, and Nicholas Laffeanio Gallant.
