On the evening of April 9, 2021, a burst of gunfire at the Vista View Apartment Complex in Charleston, West Virginia, left 22-year-old Chastanay Joseph fatally wounded while she walked with her three-year-old daughter. A man approached and opened fire, striking Joseph multiple times and hitting the child once in the abdomen. The little girl managed to separate from her mother and ran; both were taken to Charleston Area Medical Center, where Joseph later died and her daughter survived but required prolonged recovery.

Police initially treated the incident as a possible domestic dispute, but investigators later said it might be connected to earlier altercations Joseph had with associates of the suspect. That same night authorities located a vehicle abandoned on Piedmont Road and arrested 46-year-old Dorian Vashawn Clark on Charleston’s west side; he was charged with murder and malicious wounding.

Did anyone in the community see Joseph or her daughter in the area that evening or know of the prior altercations mentioned by police?
