Ricky Allen Holbrook, 46, was shot to death on January 1, 2014, at a home on Gravel Lick Road in Castlewood, Virginia. According to investigators, Holbrook went to the residence of his former partner, Stacy Brown, who lived there with her fiancé, Carlos Crabtree Jr. Holbrook entered the home without invitation and, after being asked to leave, moved toward a bedroom where Crabtree was located. An altercation followed and Crabtree fired a 12-gauge shotgun, killing Holbrook.

The Russell County Sheriff’s Office investigated and Chief Deputy Bill Watson said there was enough evidence to charge Crabtree. He was arrested and held at the Southwest Regional Jail on counts including first-degree murder, discharging a firearm in an occupied dwelling, and use of a firearm in the commission of first-degree murder.

If anyone knew Ricky, Stacy Brown, or Carlos Crabtree Jr. or witnessed what happened that day, please share information or tips.
