In the early hours of May 24, 2020, a party at a home on Henshaw Road in Inwood, West Virginia, ended with Ryan Lynch, 25, found shot outside the residence. Deputies from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office arrived shortly after 6 a.m. and pronounced Lynch dead at the scene despite lifesaving efforts.

Investigators from multiple agencies determined Lynch and another man had left the party and returned in the early morning hours; the shooting occurred after their return. Authorities identified a suspect within hours and arrested 40-year-old Donnyel Nathaniel Simmons of Martinsburg later that same day. Simmons was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond; no motive was publicly released while the investigation continued.

Does anyone have information about the party or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
