Caleb James Marcum, 19, of Red House, West Virginia, was killed in a shooting that broke out in the parking lot of a Sheetz convenience store in Cross Lanes in the early hours of January 1, 2021. The confrontation began as a personal dispute involving David Tylar Rogers of Charleston and Brent Jenkins of Scott Depot over a woman. Jenkins called a friend for help; that friend’s mother drove her sons, including Marcum, to the lot, and a physical altercation followed when more people gathered.

Investigators say Rogers produced a handgun and fired several rounds in the crowded parking lot. Marcum was struck in the face and died at the scene; Jenkins was seriously wounded and taken to a hospital. Rogers also suffered injuries and was treated before being arrested. He was booked on two counts of wanton endangerment involving a firearm; officials said the investigation remained active and that more direct charges related to Marcum’s death could be considered after evidence and witness accounts were reviewed. No other shooter was publicly named.

Marcum, born June 18, 2001, graduated from Buffalo High School in 2019, belonged to Plasterers and Cement Masons Local 926, coached youth wrestling and football, and played guitar. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Caleb and can add details?
