Eva Virginia Munoz was 27 when she was shot and killed in the early hours of March 5, 2018, at a trailer court on Aqua Circle in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Deputies were called about a shooting around 1:19 a.m.; Munoz was being taken to Camden Clark Medical Center by others at the scene and was pronounced dead there from a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators arrested 19-year-old Michael Levi Gainer in connection with the shooting. The criminal complaint says he had been drinking and was handling a firearm he knew was loaded when it discharged. He was initially charged with felony wanton endangerment with a firearm and held on a $300,000 cash bond. Munoz’s family described the loss at sentencing, noting she left five children and that her grandchildren will grow up without their mother.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Eva, please come forward.
