Morrell Deshawn Paschall was 21 when his body was found June 19, 2016, inside a residence in Huntington’s Guyandotte neighborhood near Richmond Street and Fifth Avenue. Emergency responders were called shortly after noon for a reported possible heart attack, but firefighters who entered the home found Paschall dead, a firearm, and a large amount of blood; police began treating the death as a possible homicide and interviewed people connected to the residence.

Court testimony during later proceedings described a complicated domestic situation. Paschall had recently rekindled a relationship with a woman who testified that the night of the shooting was the first time he had stayed at her home since they got back together; they reportedly argued and slept in separate rooms. The woman said she slept through the gunfire and waited about 15 minutes before calling 911. Investigators found gunshot residue on her hand and noted she had earlier obtained a protective order against Paschall.

If anyone knew Paschall or has information about what happened that night, please share what can help the investigation.
