On November 27, 2021, 49-year-old Travis Kelly Deardorff of Manassas, Virginia, was fatally shot after a heated argument at a residence on Bradford Lane. The dispute involved his longtime girlfriend, Lisa Gaye Myers, who retrieved a firearm from a bedroom and, according to police reports, shot Deardorff. He was flown to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died.

Myers, 56 at the time, called emergency services and waited for police at the scene. She was taken into custody and initially charged with aggravated malicious wounding; after Deardorff’s death the charge was upgraded to second-degree murder and she was held without bond at the Prince William County Adult Detention Center.

Deardorff was described by friends and family as kind and generous and worked as a contractor. Does anyone have information about the events on Bradford Lane that night or knew Travis and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
