Murder Charges Dropped After Suicide Ruling | Richmond News

Murder charges against John Adam Long were dropped after a medical examiner ruled the victim’s death a suicide — a shocking twist that flipped the case on its head. Initially charged with second-degree murder and firearm possession following a May hotel incident, Long’s fate changed when the autopsy revealed self-inflicted trauma. Police and prosecutors now await further leads, with charges dismissed without prejudice — though unlikely to be refiled. It’s a stark reminder that justice often takes unexpected turns, and truth can be far more complex than first appearances.
