Suspect in fatal shooting of Virginia deputy dies at hospital, prosecutor says
The man charged in the fatal shooting of a southwest Virginia sheriff’s deputy and the wounding of another deputy earlier this month has died in a Tennessee hospital, a local prosecutor said.
Timothy Wayne Goodman, 65, of North Carolina, died early Friday at Johnson City Medical Center, according to a news release from Smyth County Commonwealth’s Attorney Phillip Blevins.

Channel 9 confirmed Goodman was from Cherryville in Gaston County.
Goodman had been charged with aggravated murder in the Aug. 9 death of Smyth County Deputy Hunter Reedy and with four counts of attempted murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony, Blevins said earlier. The other Smyth County deputy wounded was released a day after the shootings and is recovering at home, news outlets reported.
Goodman was hospitalized after also being shot in an exchange with officers, according to police.
Goodman’s death “concludes a significant chapter in this matter, but our commitment to supporting Deputy Reedy’s family, the other officers involved, and the entire law enforcement community is as strong as ever,” Blevins said in the release.
According to authorities, the shootings happened during a traffic stop that Reedy participated in along with police officers from Marion. An investigation found Goodman was involved in a confrontation with Marion officers and the deputies before the shooting, according to Virginia State Police.
Reedy’s funeral was held Saturday at a church in Chilhowie, with Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares among the speakers. Reedy. 28, went to high school in Chilhowie and was a police officer there before joining the sheriff’s department. He was married with three children.

West Virginia has added another key piece on the offensive front with a commitment from Atlanta (Ga.) Tucker 2027 offensive lineman Jajuan Graham.
Graham, 6-foot-4, 300-pounds, picked the Mountaineers over offers from North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, Memphis, USF and a number of others.
West Virginia initially offered in late April and the connection between the two only continued to blossom with offensive line coach Rick Trickett serving as the lead recruiter.
Graham made the trek to Morgantown over the weekend for an official visit and that proved to be enough to seal the deal on his recruitment with a commitment.
The versatile offensive lineman can fill several different roles for the Mountaineers up front.
Graham becomes the 20th commitment for West Virginia in the 2027 class and the second along the offensive line in this current recruiting cycle.
WVSports.com will have more with Graham in the near future.

A large tent collapsed during a Virginia church’s 20th anniversary celebration on Friday evening, killing one person and injuring nearly two dozen others, officials said.
Heavy rain, lightning and strong winds tore through Moneta, a small community about 124 miles (200 kilometers) southwest of Richmond, as the EastLake Community Church was holding an outdoor service, Shelley Basinger, a spokesperson for Bedford County, said in a statement.
The group was in the process of leaving the event tent when it collapsed, according to Abbey Johnston, acting chief of Bedford County Fire and Rescue.
Eleven people were taken to the hospital and 11 others had minor injuries and were treated at the scene, Basinger said.
“Initially, I’m told it was a very chaotic scene, trying to account for the individuals,” Johnston told reporters.
Officials rushed to rescue everyone inside the tent behind the church and move them to safety as the strong thunderstorm raged on, she said.
Troy Keaton, the non-denominational church’s senior pastor, said he had just walked up to the stage to tell the group to go to their cars when a gust of wind picked up the tent.
“Sadly one of our dear brothers suffered a fatal injury,” he said in a statement on social media. “Our hearts are broken for his precious family.”
The tent had seating for 1,500 people, according to officials, but it was not immediately clear how many were inside when it collapsed.
No details were provided about the conditions of the people in the hospital.
Officials are gathering evidence as they investigate the collapse, Johnston said.
The tent had passed an inspection by the county’s building inspections division three days earlier, according to Basinger.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger said her team has been in close contact with the response crew on the ground.
“I am praying for the EastLake Community Church and all who are impacted, and we will continue to support the community during this difficult time,” she said in a statement on social media.
