Charles Jule Suter, 40, was fatally shot at his home in Colliers, West Virginia, on the night of February 11, 2022. Earlier that day he had been in a verbal dispute with 27-year-old Harley Allen Wayne Gill of Wellsville reportedly over a girlfriend. At about 11:15 p.m. Gill returned to Suter’s residence on Shreves Lane, fired a shot into the floor at the door, then shot Suter when he appeared.

Other people were inside the home; they were not physically harmed, but Gill allegedly fired shots over the heads of three individuals before fleeing. He was located in Columbiana County, Ohio, the next morning and extradited to Brooke County, West Virginia. Gill was charged with first-degree murder, three counts of wanton endangerment, attempted burglary and being a person prohibited from possessing a firearm because of a prior felony drug conviction.

Suter’s mobile home burned a few days after the shooting, after investigators had finished at the scene. Gill later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 15 years; the wanton endangerment counts were dismissed. Does anyone have information about Charles Suter, his activities that day, or witnesses who were at the home that night?
