Tyler McKenzie Poston, 26, was found dead on the morning of Saturday, June 26, 2021, near his pickup truck at a pull-off on U.S. Route 119 close to the Taylor–Monongalia county line. An autopsy showed multiple gunshot wounds, including two to the head and four to the body; investigators determined his death was a homicide and believed he was shot at that location. There were no immediate signs of a struggle at the scene.

Poston, born September 27, 1994, in Fairmont, West Virginia, was a Grafton High School graduate and worked as a heavy equipment operator. Family and friends recalled that he loved hunting, fishing, baseball and was a devoted father to his young daughter. Authorities asked the public to check home security cameras for activity from the night of Friday, June 25 into the following morning.

On July 7, 2021, Joshua Blake Price, 29, of Farmington, was arrested and charged in connection with Poston’s murder. Does anyone who knew Tyler or who was in the area that night have information that could help the case?
