Burton Perry was 27 when he was found fatally shot on December 1, 2016, in the North End of Bluefield, West Virginia. Described by acquaintances as quiet and non-confrontational, Perry’s death was ruled a homicide rather than accidental or self-inflicted.

Within about a day investigators identified a suspect. Marcus Workman, 31 and also from Bluefield, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He was arraigned in Mercer County Magistrate Court, held at the Southern Regional Jail without bond, and the case was set to go before a grand jury.

If anyone knew Burton, saw him in Bluefield around that time, or has information about what happened, please come forward.
