Adam Nicholas Swim was 40 when he was found dead at his Ash Street home in Charleston, West Virginia. He was discovered on June 17, 2019, after being shot in the head the previous night, June 16. Friends and family remembered him as a kind, charismatic man who enjoyed fishing, camping, and striking up conversations with new people.

A woman who had been at the residence was also sexually assaulted during the incident. Charleston police identified two suspects in the investigation, LaSalle Javon Burnett and Samantha Ilise Slater, also known as Samantha O’Brien. An arrest warrant was issued for Burnett in March 2020 and Slater was arrested in December 2020.

Investigators say a third person may have been involved and that individual has not been identified. If anyone knew Adam, was in that neighborhood on June 16–17, 2019, or has information about a possible third participant, please come forward.
