David Stewart, 23, was killed during the early morning hours of July 7, 2016, at the Orchard Manor housing complex on Charleston’s West Side. Court records state Stewart had driven his girlfriend and several others to the complex; when they arrived, DeAndre “Dravo” Moore shot Stewart while Stewart sat behind the wheel. Stewart lost consciousness after the shooting and the vehicle crashed on Hutchinson Street. Surveillance footage captured the shooting and showed the shooter with dreadlocks; witnesses and the video led police to obtain a warrant charging Moore with first-degree murder.

Moore was apprehended in Charlotte, North Carolina, on July 8 and returned to West Virginia. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder under a binding agreement in November 2017 and was sentenced to life imprisonment with mercy, making him eligible for parole after 15 years. Post-conviction proceedings raised alternate-perpetrator claims and inconsistent witness statements, but the circuit court found Moore’s written admission to earlier counsel and the contemporaneous witness accounts and video outweighed those challenges.

Did anyone who knew Stewart or saw events at Orchard Manor that night come forward with additional details?
