Sheena Graves, a 19-year-old Black woman from Charleston, West Virginia, was fatally shot during a burst of gunfire outside the Littlepage Terrace apartments on the night of July 4, 2016. The shooting was reported at about 10 p.m. near McVey Way, off Washington Street West. Graves had been with one of the men involved when the shooting erupted and was struck by gunfire; she was rushed toward a hospital but died while being transported. Clarence Murray, 39, and Danny Fortune, 36, were initially described by police as exchanging gunfire and were both wounded in the incident.

Murray was arrested after release from the hospital and arraigned on a murder charge, and was also later said to face a malicious-wounding charge related to Fortune’s injuries. Investigators soon developed evidence that additional rounds had been fired from elsewhere at Littlepage Terrace. On July 14 police arrested Jason Hairston, identified as a Charleston teenager, on a wanton endangerment charge after a witness said he fired multiple rounds from a second-floor apartment window. By November 2 prosecutors dismissed the murder charge against Murray as investigators sought more ballistic and witness evidence and considered the possibility of a third shooter, leaving it unresolved whose gunfire killed Graves.

Has anyone in the Littlepage Terrace area from that night come forward with details that could clarify where the fatal shot originated?
