Zion Demetrius Mitchell, 23, was shot and killed on June 27, 2023, in Montgomery, West Virginia, in the same overnight incident that also killed Craig Kinder of Mount Carbon. The shootings occurred shortly after midnight near the Family Dollar in the 1000 block of Second Avenue along Route 61 near the Kanawha–Fayette County line. Police said both men were found shot in the street after an altercation; the scene drew a large response from Montgomery police and other agencies.

Mitchell was identified in police and news reports as being from Charleston, while his obituary listed him as Zion D. Mitchell of Columbus, Ohio, born March 17, 2000. Family remembered him as loving and caring, enjoyed making music, playing basketball, and had graduated from Riverside High School. Montgomery Police Chief Paris Workman clarified that several people were detained and investigators reviewed video and collected evidence, but no arrest had been made and motive was not publicly determined.

If anyone has information about that night or knew Zion, please come forward to assist the investigation.
