Joshua Allen Burdette, 31, was found dead at his home in Sissonville, West Virginia, on March 1, 2021. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene after his father discovered his body. Authorities were told Joshua had been involved in an altercation with his brother, Holdon Michael Burdette, prior to the shooting.

Holdon Burdette, then 23, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office reported no evidence anyone else was present in the home during the incident. Family members said Holdon had a history of mental health issues and had recently received treatment; he underwent psychological evaluations to determine competency to stand trial. The family later raised concerns about Holdon’s recent discharge from a medical facility before the shooting.

Are there witnesses or information about the hours before March 1, 2021, that could shed light on what happened?
