(Martinsville, VA) – Just after 11pm Friday night authorities were dispatched to the El Parral restaurant on Commonwealth Blvd.  Deputies with the Henry County Sheriff’s office upon arrival found multiple subjects suffering from gunshot wounds.

One of the victims with multiple gunshot wounds was identified as Orlando Raceem Johnson, 31 of Martinsville, who later died as a result of the injuries.
