Lunenburg County has become connected to a murder investigation after reports have indicated a car with ties to the case was found unoccupied in the county Wednesday, Oct. 28.

A WSET ABC 13 News report stated the Appomattox County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) has made two arrests and three charges of first-degree murder in connection with the human remains found inside a burned vehicle Wednesday, Oct. 21, in Appomattox County.

The sheriff’s office confirmed Oct. 28 the human remains belonged to Carlos Levell Rose, 45, to whom the burned vehicle was registered, the WSET report stated. On Oct. 24, deputies confirmed Rose died of gunshot wounds.
