A summer afternoon argument in Huntington, West Virginia, turned deadly when Wendell L. Keith II, 47, was shot on June 21, 2021. The shooting occurred in the 800 block of 12th Street; police arrived around 1:20 p.m. and found Keith wounded. He was taken to Cabell Huntington Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Delron Thacker of Huntington as the alleged shooter; police say the two men knew each other and that the incident followed an argument. Thacker was arrested and charged with murder and held in the Western Regional Jail. Keith, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, was remembered by family as kind and caring; he is survived by children, his father, and a significant other.

Did anyone in the Huntington area see or hear anything that afternoon on 12th Street?
