On May 26, 2021, James Anthony Oldham, a 54-year-old man from Bowling Green, Kentucky, was shot multiple times and killed in the parking lot of a GoMart on Summers Addition Road in Milton, West Virginia. The shooting followed a domestic dispute between Oldham and his wife; police say 40-year-old Milton resident Carl Rose Jr. intervened, pursued Oldham as he tried to flee, and shot him in the back. Rose was detained at the scene and a gun was seized.

Rose was charged with Oldham’s murder and his trial opened in December 2022. Prosecutors presented testimony about the number of times Rose fired his weapon; the defense argued the shooting was justified. On December 17, 2022, a Cabell County jury found Carl Rose Jr. not guilty of second-degree murder, acquitting him of charges in Oldham’s death.

Are there witnesses or additional details about the moments leading up to the shooting that anyone can share?
