'I'm going to get away with it': Man murdered his ex-best friend by shooting him in the groin because the victim wanted to 'manipulate' his girlfriend

A Virginia man has learned his fate for shooting and killing his once-best friend in a violent case centered on an apparent love triangle.

Dustin Dove, 24, was sentenced Friday morning to life in prison for the murder of 22-year-old Seth Wallace in May 2024, local outlets, including Harrisonburg ABC affiliate WHSV, reported.

In April, a jury found Dove guilty of first-degree murder – though court records show he was originally charged with murder in the second degree. Dove's defense team reportedly did not dispute that he had shot Wallace – but said he intended to injure, not to kill. Wallace died from his injuries less than three weeks after he was shot.

Talk about having horrible public defenders, he could have walked into court day 1 and said I shot his nuts off and got less time

I think the worst part of this whole story, is bro had to live for 3 weeks knowing his dick was shot off before dying.

I’d wanna go right away

Just when think plaintiff attorneys are the most worthless, public defenders say ‘hold my beer esquire!’

To be fair to SFP, he was posting on TD for most of the trial.

So his friendship ended because his buddy lost his balls...

It sounds like ol' boy might have trouble evaluating what levels of interpersonal trust he should invest into people in his life.

A very popular defense tactic is to shoot in the pelvic area as it is extremely difficult to armor, is bigger than the head, and will instantly drop even the most drugged up human beings.
