Lyle P. McMurtray, a 23-year-old man from Dutton, Virginia, was found dead on May 31, 2014, in a parked SUV in Richmond’s Gilpin Court neighborhood. Richmond Police determined he died of a gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide.

McMurtray was working as an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration and was expected to testify against two brothers, Xavier and Thomas Hopkins, in upcoming narcotics trials. Investigators say the killing was set up during what appeared to be a heroin sale: McMurtray was arranging a purchase with Xavier Hopkins, who involved Montrio Santos Neville. A plastic sandwich bag containing heroin was found in McMurtray’s hand; forensic testing produced a DNA mixture that included Neville, and cell records tied the last call McMurtray received to a phone Neville later acknowledged using.

Neville was arrested and charged in connection with McMurtray’s death, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and related narcotics and firearms offenses. Does anyone have information about McMurtray, his movements that night, or contacts in the Gilpin Court area?
