Brandon man shot to death on Saturday

BRANDON — Vermont State Police are investigating the Saturday killing of 46-year-old Brian Bailey at his home in Brandon on Saturday. The death is considered suspicious, though police say it was an isolated incident.

Authorities said there is no known threat to the community.

No one is currently in custody.

Detectives are asking anyone with information that could assist investigators to call VSP’s Rutland Barracks at 802-773-9101 or provide an anonymous tip online at vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

Bailey was found unresponsive shortly after 7 a.m. on May 24 at his home on Champearl Road and pronounced deceased by first responders. Troopers from the Vermont State Police were called and began an investigation. Based on evidence at the scene and following an examination of Bailey’s body at the Chief Medical Examiner’s finding that Bailey died of a gunshot wound, the death appears to be suspicious.

This investigation is active and ongoing and involves members of the Vermont State Police Major Crime Unit, Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Crime Scene Search Team, Field Force Division, and Victim Services Unit. The Brandon Police Department and the Rutland County State’s Attorney’s Office are assisting.
