Toni Lynn Cremeans, 46, was found fatally shot in the front seat of a vehicle in Culloden, West Virginia, on December 8, 2020. Authorities described her death as a drive-by shooting and linked it to a related fatal shooting of John Glaspell in nearby Hurricane that began the previous day.

Investigators identified Justin Howard Groff, 30, of Hurricane, as the suspect in both killings. Similar 9mm shell casings were recovered at both scenes, and analysis of Facebook messages was reported to further connect Groff to the crimes. Officials said Groff blamed Cremeans and Glaspell for his girlfriend’s drug overdose, a reported motive for the retaliatory attacks.

Groff was charged with first-degree murder in both Putnam and Cabell counties; he later entered a guilty plea to second-degree murder in Cremeans’s case and received a 40-year prison sentence. Did anyone in the area know Toni Lynn Cremeans or have information about her final day?
