A long-term household dispute in Wayne, West Virginia, ended in fatal violence when 77-year-old Walter Toppins was shot and killed at his home on Big Branch Road on Tuesday, February 21, 2017. Toppins was a retired Turman Construction Company employee, a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, and an active member of Echo United Baptist Church.

Authorities arrested 44-year-old housemate Johnnie Walls after Walls reportedly told police an argument that began the previous Sunday escalated into the deadly shooting. Walls was charged with murder and arraigned in Wayne County. Funeral services were held the following Monday at Morris Funeral Home Chapel, and Toppins was buried at Toppins Cemetery in Kiahsville. He was survived by his wife, Linda Fry Toppins, a granddaughter, and multiple siblings.

Does anyone have information about the events in that house the week of February 19, 2017, or remember the relationship between Toppins and Walls?
