Dontaze Mosley, a 34-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in the front yard of a Frame Street residence in Charleston, West Virginia, on August 26, 2022. Mosley was taken to a local hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.

Collins fled on foot immediately after the shooting and was identified by police as the suspect; he surrendered to authorities two days later and was charged with second-degree murder. In December 2022 Collins pleaded not guilty to that charge. What led to the change in charges after the initial murder count and how witnesses or evidence have been weighed in the case remain points readers might help clarify.

If anyone knew Dontaze, saw the events on Frame Street that afternoon, or has information that could shed light on the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
