Joesi Dominion Martin, 33, was found dead at a residence on Adam Lane in the Wolfe’s Trailer Park area near Capon Bridge late on Saturday, February 22, 2025. Deputies arrived just before midnight and discovered Martin covered in blood with severe wounds; investigators determined multiple gunshots struck his chest and head and pronounced him dead at the scene. The body was taken to the West Virginia Medical Examiner’s Office and a homicide investigation was opened. Early statements described the killing as isolated and said there was no ongoing danger to the community.

Investigators linked the homicide to a vehicle crash on U.S. Route 50 at about 9:30 p.m., roughly two and a half hours earlier. Police reported recovering drugs, two safes and a .22 Magnum pistol at the crash scene, and said the handgun appeared to be the weapon used in Martin’s killing. Authorities allege Jesse Glen Settle of Winchester, Virginia, traveled to the Capon Bridge residence over an ongoing dispute, confronted Martin and fired multiple times. Settle was taken to a Virginia hospital after the wreck, later detained at investigators’ request, and charged with first-degree murder and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance; Hampshire County records show Settle was booked in West Virginia on March 11, 2025.
