Jyilek Zyiare Harrington, a 21-year-old Black male from Charlotte, North Carolina, was shot and killed inside an apartment on Regency Drive in Charleston, West Virginia, on September 11, 2024. Charleston police said there was a disturbance that involved gunfire in a hallway and inside the apartment; Harrington suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency efforts.

Harrington had recently transferred to West Virginia State University as a senior linebacker after playing at Carson-Newman University in Tennessee. University officials described him as a dedicated student-athlete and campus leader who raised money to help less fortunate families; the athletic department created a fundraiser in his memory. The scheduled game between West Virginia State and Carson-Newman was postponed so players and staff from both programs could hold private vigils.

Is anyone with information about what happened that night willing to come forward to Charleston police?
