Aaron Michael Williams, 22, died on August 11, 2016, after being shot during a dispute in the Stanaford area near Beckley, West Virginia. A resident of Stanaford and born in Beckley, Williams worked as a boiler operator for Allegheny Wood Products, enjoyed riding his dirt bike and fishing, and left behind three children.

According to charging documents and law-enforcement accounts, the confrontation involved Joseph Michael Reid, who investigators said arrived at the woman’s home with Williams’ wife and the children on August 11. Reports say Williams followed in a separate vehicle, the situation escalated onto Stanaford Road, and deputies allege Reid shot Williams during an attempt by Williams to get the children out of Reid’s vehicle. Williams was taken to Appalachian Regional Hospital in Beckley, where he died of his injuries. Reid was arrested on a murder charge shortly after the shooting and was later indicted by a Raleigh County grand jury on first-degree murder and related counts.

Does anyone have information about the events on Stanaford Road or about Aaron’s life and family that could add context to this case?
