Kevin Heath Frazier, 29, was found dead from a gunshot wound at a Rippey Hollow Road residence in Pipers Gap, Carroll County, Virginia, on the evening of October 9, 2013. Deputies were called around 8:55 p.m.; investigators recovered a 9 mm handgun at the scene. What was initially reported as an accidental shooting became a criminal investigation handled by the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office and the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations.

On December 9, 2013, a direct indictment charged Whitney Lee Isom with second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; she surrendered to authorities on December 14. The initial charges were later amended when Isom pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter; a pre-sentencing hearing was scheduled for January 7, 2015.
