On November 9, 2014, 53-year-old Edward Markham Post was fatally shot at a residence in Jamaica, Virginia. Deputies from the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office who responded to a report of a domestic dispute and shooting encountered a barricaded suspect inside the home.

The barricaded man was identified as Edward’s cousin, Paul C. Post. Negotiators and a SWAT team spent hours trying to resolve the situation; eventually Paul C. Post surrendered and was taken into custody. Edward Post’s body was found at the scene. The motive for the shooting was not immediately released.

Paul C. Post was charged in connection with Edward Markham Post’s death and later convicted of second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony, receiving a lengthy prison sentence.
