In the early hours of February 16, 2013, a home invasion in the Prospect area of Prince Edward County, Virginia, ended in a deadly shootout. The homeowner was awakened, armed himself with a handgun, and a brief exchange of gunfire followed. Saunders was shot and killed inside the house; Johnson was fatally wounded and fell on the front lawn. The homeowner was not injured and was later cleared by authorities, who said he acted in self-defense.

A third suspect is believed to have waited in a nearby vehicle and fled the scene. Search dogs were used but did not locate that individual. The bodies of Saunders and Johnson were taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Richmond for autopsy. Has anyone in the Prospect area seen or heard anything about that night or the third person who escaped?
