In the summer of 2020, the life of William Felton 'Billy' English, a 48-year-old Caucasian male, was tragically cut short in Roanoke, Virginia. On July 7th, English was found shot to death, prompting the Roanoke Police Department to launch a homicide investigation into the violent incident.
Born on October 7, 1971, in Nansemond County, Virginia, William, known to many as 'Billy,' was the son of William Edwin English and the late Shannah Hampton Coleman.
He was a member of the former Liberty Baptist Church. His passing was mourned by his father, stepmother, sisters, brother, and a host of other family members and friends. A memorial graveside service was held to honor his memory at Cedar Hill Cemetery on Saturday, July 25, 2020.
Despite the ongoing efforts of law enforcement, the circumstances surrounding English's death remain a painful mystery for his loved ones and the community. As of the most recent updates, no arrests have been made in connection with his murder, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation into his death is still considered open, with authorities continuing to seek information that could lead to a resolution in the case.
