Julia Nell Wickline, 40, was shot and killed while seated on the front porch of a sober living home in the 1000 block of Grant Street in Charleston, West Virginia, on the afternoon of February 19, 2023. She was talking on her cellphone when an unknown man described as a Black male dressed in all black approached, exchanged words with her, then produced a firearm and fired multiple times. First responders attempted life-saving measures but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooter fled on foot, heading north on Russell Street.

Police investigators quickly developed leads and arrested 36-year-old Peris Fallins of Charleston the Monday after the shooting; he was charged with first-degree murder. A motive had not been publicly disclosed. Wickline had been living at the sober living home while rebuilding her life after a history of heavy heroin use, and had recently been working on recovery, faith, and reconciliation with family.

Did anyone in the Charleston area see activity near Grant and Russell Streets that afternoon or know more about the events leading up to that porch interaction?
