April Dawn Mounts, 35, of Iaeger, West Virginia, was shot to death in her home on Coon Branch Hollow Road in the early hours of October 31, 2018. She was described by family and friends as devoted to her family, active with Hands of Hope Ministry in Welch, and remembered for a warm smile and compassionate nature.

State troopers responding to a reported domestic dispute found April deceased from a gunshot wound and took her husband, 41-year-old Jonathan Ray Mounts, into custody at the scene. He was charged that same day with first-degree murder and held in the McDowell County Holding Unit pending arraignment.

April’s death was treated as a charged homicide rather than an unexplained disappearance. If anyone knew April or was in that area the morning of October 31, 2018, please share information that could help her family and the case.
