The Vance County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death of a 42-year-old man involved in an apparent home invasion over the weekend.
On Saturday, Feb. 4, deputies went to 100 Kelly Road in reference to a home invasion that resulted in a death, according to a press statement released Tuesday by Sheriff Curtis Brame.
Three people, two of whom are residents of the home, had been shot. Both were transported to a local medical facility for treatment of gunshot wounds. The man who died was identified as Jay Edwards Davis, Brame said. Davis was found inside the home.
The sheriff office’s criminal investigations division and the State Bureau of Investigation responded to the scene and Brame said apparently Davis was one of the individuals who entered the residence. The sheriff’s office is looking for other individuals who are believed to have entered the residence with Davis; Brame said he believes this was an isolated incident and that the victims were targeted.
No further information about the condition of the victims was available.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Vance County Sheriff’s Office at 252.738.2200 or Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers at 252.492.1925.
