Family and friends of late Central Point resident Devery Bynum held a series of candlelight vigils outside his home, across from Central Point Elementary School. Bynum was one of two victims during the Nov. 8 shooting and succumbed to his wounds.

Weeks after the lives of the families of two victims were upended after an early morning shooting on Nov. 8 in Central Point, relatives of both victims are adjusting to life after tragedy.

Central Point resident Elizabeth Hadley was shot while trying to leave for work on the morning of Nov. 8. Family members say the 22-year-old Crater High graduate is still fighting for her life in the intensive care unit at Rogue Regional Medical Center after being found in her vehicle near Central Point Elementary suffering from severe gunshot wounds.

Hadley was the second of two victims in a pair of shootings that occurred just moments apart.

Central Point police initially responded around 7:26 a.m. to a gunshot victim at a residence in the 300 block of South 4th Street, directly across from Central Point Elementary, and located a deceased 42-year-old male inside the residence. The man was later identified as 42-year-old Central Point resident Devery Bynum.

Minutes later, at 7:31 a.m., officers were called four blocks away to a location along Bush Street where they discovered Hadley inside her vehicle, parked along the street, suffering from gunshot wounds.

Within less than an hour of both shootings, police arrested Medford resident William Carl Frombach.

Frombach, 45, faces charges of second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, first-degree aggravated animal abuse, first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and felon in possession of a firearm. He made an initial appearance in Jackson County Circuit Court on Nov. 12. He remains lodged in the Jackson County Jail without bail with arraignment set for 1:45 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12.

Hadley’s brother, Cole DeLange, told the Rogue Valley Times this week that his family had been overwhelmed with gratitude for community support since the tragic event. DeLange said Hadley was headed to work at the time she was shot.

“It’s hard to make sense of it,” said the brother.

DeLange said family members are focusing on looking forward, rather than focusing on the shooting, and are praying for positive developments in Hadley’s recovery.

“There have not been a whole lot of new updates. She is stable, but every day there are new challenges. Every day is a battle,” DeLange said, noting that his family was grateful for the community’s outpouring of support and donations to help his sister and her husband, Gabe Hadley, focus on her recovery.

A GoFundMe has been created for Hadley to help the family and Gabe Hadley manage expenses.

Since the shooting, social media posts have cropped up, calling for prayer chains, candlelight vigils and other means of support for both victims.

“My sister is someone who contributes a lot of positivity to the community. I don’t know of a better way to say it or put it out there. She’s an amazing person,” DeLange said.

“The doctors are optimistic but realistic at the same time. She’s stable, but it still is going to be an uphill battle every day.”

Plans are underway for a weekend memorial for Devery Bynum, the first shooting victim. A memorial service is planned, according to an online obituary, for 12 p.m. Sunday at Conger-Morris Central Point Chapel, 800 S. Front St., Central Point.

Bynum’s mother, Cindy Herndon, posted a GoFundMe to help with expenses in laying her son to rest.

Bynum’s family has been mostly quiet since the shooting, although a makeshift memorial appeared at Bynum’s home along South 4th Street, surrounded by candles that remained after a candlelight vigil. Bynum lived in the home with extended family members.

“A person murdered my son … I am asking if someone can help me out with funding his funeral service,” Herdon posted to the crowdfunding page.

“I was not prepared for something like this to come up and happen at this point in my life, (let alone) my son‘s life.”

Friends and family over the past week have posted to social media about Bynum’s kindness and told stories of him keeping an eye on neighborhood children who played at the nearby skate park. Bynum’s son, Taylen Bynum, took to social media to post about his dad.

“I didn’t think at 24 I would lose my dad. I loved him a lot more than I could get it off my chest,” the son posted.

“What Devery showed me is how to be a proper man outside of your accomplishments. And the value you receive from being righteous and caring no matter your own struggles. I want nothing more than to be a caring and strong working man. I love you dad rest in peace.”
