The victim in the May 12 Buckingham shooting has passed away. Buckingham County Sheriff Billy Kidd confirmed on Thursday, May 22 that 45-year-old Scott Randall of Dillwyn was removed from life support last week and died as a result of his injuries.

The incident happened on Monday, May 12, when Buckingham’s emergency communications center received a call at 12:56 p.m. from the 2300 block of Pattie Road. The caller reported that there had been a shooting in the area. 

When deputies arrived, they found a truck that had crashed into a bunch of trees in the woods. Inside the vehicle was a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Deputies and Buckingham emergency personnel administered first aid and were able to keep the man, later identified as Randall, alive and get him to the hospital, courtesy of an airlift from the University of Virginia’s Pegasus. 

During the course of the investigation, deputies also arrested a man who the sheriff identified as 41-year-old Vincent Rose, in connection with the case. Nothing has changed yet in terms of charges against Rose as of Monday, May 26. He is currently being held without bond at Piedmont Regional Jail. 

Kidd said the Buckingham shooting is still under investigation and encouraged anyone with information to contact the Buckingham County Sheriff’s Office at 434-969-1772.
