In the winter of 2018 Fairmont police responded to a Dixie Avenue residence and found 33-year-old Justin Michael Cassella dead from an apparent gunshot wound to his upper torso. His body was sent to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Charleston for autopsy to determine the official cause of death.

Investigators identified two suspects quickly. On December 28, 2018, detectives arrested 34-year-old Richard Allen Moore II of Fairmont and charged him with first-degree murder. A warrant was also issued for a second suspect. On January 9, 2019, following an anonymous tip and a multiagency effort, officers arrested 26-year-old William Ed Pumpkin Littleton at an East Side Fairmont residence; he was charged with first-degree murder and taken to the North Central Regional Jail after arraignment.
