Jerome Pippins, a 42-year-old Black man formerly of the Bronx, was found dead the morning of August 11, 2016, inside a home in the 1000 block of Marcum Terrace in Huntington, West Virginia. Initial reports described an unattended death; after the body was taken to the medical examiner the next day police disclosed that Pippins had suffered a gunshot wound and the inquiry became a fatal shooting investigation.

Authorities released few details about the circumstances: reports did not say when he was shot, whether anyone else had been in the residence, what type of firearm was used, or whether a motive had been identified.

Pippins was born September 25, 1973, and is survived by five children and multiple siblings. Does anyone in the Huntington or Bronx communities have information about Jerome’s movements or contacts before August 11, 2016?
