On October 8, 2021, two women were shot to death on Charleston’s West Side. Bria White, 26, was found around 1:30 a.m. in the 300 block of Hunt Avenue after police responded to reports of gunshots; investigators recovered 12 fired 9mm cartridge cases at that scene. Kytiana Belcher, 22, was discovered just before 8 a.m. in the 1000 block of Grant Street with a gunshot wound to the neck.

Detectives developed 24-year-old Marquis Goodman of Detroit as a suspect after a Snapchat video posted from Belcher’s account about 1:17 a.m. showed a Black man wearing a blue zip-up jacket with white stripes, black shorts, and a Michael Myers mask walking with White. Surveillance footage later captured a man matching that description running from the area where Belcher was found, removing clothing and hiding an item; officers recovered a 9mm Glock in the same yard and later located a Michael Myers mask in a dump trailer.

Goodman was arrested in Detroit and, according to investigators, confessed to killing both women, saying White had set him up to be robbed and that Belcher was killed as a witness. The legal case proceeded from there. If anyone knew either woman, saw the men in the area that night, or has relevant information, please share what is known.
