On the evening of July 25, 2018, Danny Wayne Marks, 56, was shot in the head in front of his home on Charleston Road near Clendenin, West Virginia. Officers responding after reports of a stolen ATV and a man seen on a porch found Marks unconscious and breathing; he was taken to a Charleston hospital where he later died. The same gunman also shot Terri Paxton in a truck at a neighboring home; Paxton survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police had been tracking Andrew A.J. King in connection with the stolen ATV. King fled on the ATV, wrecked it, and later was seen running along U.S. 119 firing at officers and at homes. A multi-agency manhunt and a state police helicopter closed a stretch of highway; King was found the next morning hiding in nearby woods and taken into custody. King was charged with murder in Marks’s death and attempted murder in Paxton’s shooting and was later indicted on those counts.

Did anyone in the area see activity on Charleston Road that summer evening or have information about the stolen ATV?
