Austin Summers was 21 when he died on December 30, 2021. A Baxter, West Virginia resident, he was described by family as a carpenter and handyman who enjoyed riding 4-wheelers, hunting, fishing and caring for animals. Authorities reported a shooting in Marion County and the incident was investigated as a homicide.

Investigators identified a suspect and an arrest was made in connection with Summers’ death. The Marion County Grand Jury later returned an indictment for first-degree murder, and the case was placed with the Marion County Circuit Court for further proceedings.

Does anyone have information about Summers’ life in Baxter or details about the shooting that could help the ongoing case?
