Raymond Christopher Lee Chapman, 22, was fatally shot on the evening of June 27, 2016, along Cox Landing Road (also described as Route 2 or Ohio River Road) near the Riviera Country Club in Cabell County, West Virginia. Chapman, known to friends as Chris, was sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle driven by Courtney Renee Thompson when her husband, Bobby Edgar Thompson, arrived. Investigators say Bobby Thompson approached with a handgun, demanded Chapman exit, fired once into the ground and then fired through the passenger-side window; the single gunshot wound proved fatal and Chapman was found by troopers in the vehicle and died either at the scene or while being transported to hospital.

Bobby Thompson left briefly but arranged to surrender about an hour later; police recovered the handgun at a residence near his home and he admitted firing the weapon, saying he believed Chapman was having an affair with his wife. Physical evidence and witness accounts conflicted with Thompson’s claim that the vehicle was moving toward him. Courtney Thompson later testified that her relationship with Chapman had not been platonic.

Thompson was charged with first-degree murder and wanton endangerment.

Did anyone who knew Chapman or who was in the Cox Landing Road area that night see or hear anything that hasn’t been reported?
