On the evening of Thursday, March 3, 2022, a family dispute at an apartment complex in Morgantown, West Virginia, ended in a fatal shooting. Officers were sent to 18 Van Gilder Street shortly after 5:00 p.m. after reports of a domestic disturbance; while they were en route they were told shots had been fired and a man had been shot.

Police found 32-year-old Matthew Tylor Vaughn of Charleston with a gunshot wound to his upper torso. Emergency personnel attempted treatment, but Vaughn died at the residence. The shooting was tied to a family dispute involving Vaughn’s children, who were the subject of a Child Protective Services investigation.

The suspect was identified as Tracey Lynn Hamby of Beckley, then 47, who was arrested at the scene and admitted to shooting Vaughn; a firearm was recovered from the apartment. Hamby was charged with second-degree murder and arraigned in Monongalia County Magistrate Court, held without bond at the North Central Regional Jail.

Does anyone have information about the events at 18 Van Gilder Street that evening or about Vaughn’s movements earlier that day?
