EWING, Va.—A manhunt for a Tennessee homicide suspect is no longer focused on a county on the western edge of Virginia, authorities said Wednesday. But they declined to release further information “because of the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation.”

Lee County Sheriff Gary Parsons said in a statement Wednesday evening that Jason Dockery was no longer in Virginia’s westernmost county, which sits narrowly between Kentucky and Tennessee. No other details were provided.
