A man is shot while at a party In the early morning hours of November 2, 2003, a party at the American Legion Post 82 in Saluda, Virginia, took a fatal turn. Stephen Lamont Roye, a 26-year-old Black or African American male, was in attendance at the large gathering located at 192 Watson Landing Road. As the event began to get out of control, some attendees started to leave.
It was during this time that an altercation occurred involving Roye and another group of males. Witnesses reported hearing a gunshot and seeing Roye fall to the ground.
A subsequent report from the medical examiner would confirm that he had been shot three times.
The investigation into the homicide of Stephen Lamont Roye remains active. Despite the numerous people present at the party, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with his death. Virginia State Police continue to seek information from the public regarding the events that transpired that night.
