On the evening of June 13, 2021, a dispute over a $10 bet on a basketball game at a home on Maple Acres Road in the Glenwood area of Princeton, West Virginia, ended in gunfire that killed 51-year-old Harold L. Ray Sr. The wager had been placed two days earlier between Ray and 41-year-old Juan Tabb of Bluefield. Witnesses say Tabb, reportedly intoxicated, came to Ray’s house demanding the payout, grew agitated after being unable to contact him, and allegedly threatened to shoot Ray and his dog while brandishing a firearm.

Both men were shot and taken to Princeton Community Hospital. Harold Ray died there; Tabb survived and was later arrested. On June 23, 2021, Tabb was held without bond on a first-degree murder charge, and a Mercer County grand jury returned an indictment in March 2022. Does anyone have additional information about what led up to that night or witnessed the confrontation?
