Michael Monson was 22 when he was fatally shot inside a residence on the 2200 block of Monroe Avenue in St. Albans on October 12, 2019. The shooting happened about 11:30 p.m. after a heated argument at a home where Monson had a prior relationship with the woman who lived there.

A single gunshot struck Monson in the abdomen. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his wound. The St. Albans Police Department opened an investigation and said the shooting occurred during an argument; officials did not immediately release details about other people involved or what sparked the confrontation.

As of late 2025, no arrests have been reported and authorities have not identified any suspect or suspects publicly. Does anyone who knew Michael or who was in that neighborhood that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
