In the early morning hours of November 23, 2014, a shooting at a residence on Roachs Lane in Dillwyn, Virginia, left two men dead. Kenneth Dean Beasley, 51, and Radford Thomas Ranson, 65, both of Dillwyn, were found by sheriff’s deputies after a call to the Buckingham County Emergency Communications Center at about 4:38 a.m. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene from injuries sustained in the shooting.

The incident was treated as a double homicide. A suspect was identified and arrested later the same day at the scene: Greg A. Taylor, 39, of Dillwyn. Authorities said there was no evidence of other people being involved. Taylor was charged in connection with the deaths and held without bond at the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville.

If anyone has information about the events on Roachs Lane that morning or knew either victim, please share what you can with investigators.
