Patrick L. Jefferson, a 38-year-old Black man from Charleston, West Virginia, was found dead inside a residence in the 100 block of McKee Street on March 18, 2022. A man who went to meet someone at the home got no answer at the door, could hear Jefferson’s phone ringing from inside, and called police after becoming suspicious. Officers found the door slightly open, entered, and discovered Jefferson on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds.

Police immediately treated the scene as a homicide. It remains unclear who entered the home, what triggered the shooting, and whether investigators later developed a chargeable lead.

If anyone knew Patrick, saw activity at the 100 block of McKee Street around March 18, 2022, or has information about his death, please share what is known with investigators.
