On October 19, 2016, Parkersburg resident Brian Duanne Shann, 38, was shot at his home at 1015 E. 12th Street (corner of 12th and Oak). He was taken to Camden Clark Medical Center and pronounced dead at 9:34 a.m. The Parkersburg Police Department identified 31-year-old Jason Edward Drain as the suspect and said robbery was believed to be the motive.

Drain fled and was later located in a white pickup in a parking lot behind O’Reilly’s Auto Parts at Neal Street and Ninth Avenue with a 28-year-old passenger, Cassandra Michelle Bailey. During a standoff with multiple officers on scene, Drain fatally shot himself with a semi-automatic pistol and Bailey subsequently shot herself. Police reported no officers fired their weapons.

The shootings ended the immediate threat but left the neighborhood reeling and concerned about local violence and drug-related problems. Did anyone in Parkersburg know Brian Shann or have information about events on October 19, 2016?
