On May 18, 2025, 46-year-old Mark Myers was found fatally shot on the front porch of a residence on Shaw Road in the Beryl area just outside Keyser, West Virginia. Deputies responding to a 911 call discovered Myers with a gunshot wound to his upper back; no weapon was located near his body and the porch showed where he had fallen.

The 911 call was placed by Mark’s 67-year-old brother, Michael Wayne Myers. According to authorities, Michael told the dispatcher his brother had been shot and later allegedly admitted to deputies that he fired an 8mm Mauser rifle from the stairs inside the house, striking Mark as he stood at the door. Michael was taken into custody the same day and charged with murder; he was booked into the Potomac Highlands Regional Jail held without bond.

Investigators say Michael told them he and Mark had been living together and that he felt like a prisoner in the home, believing Mark intended to kill him. Records cited a prior second-degree murder conviction for Michael in the 2014 killing of his wife, for which he served about ten years. Mark was a laborer and is survived by another brother and several nieces and nephews; he was cremated and a memorial service was planned.

Did anyone in the Keyser area know Mark or his family and have information about the events leading up to May 18?
