Clayton Wayne Ware, 33, was fatally shot on January 20, 2016, inside an apartment at Circle J Square in Fairlea, West Virginia. Authorities were called about 4:15 p.m.; when investigators entered the residence they found Ware dead from a gunshot wound. Reports identified Travis Norwood, then about 29 and from the Fairlea area, as the person involved. Ware and Norwood had spent much of the afternoon together before a severe altercation ended with gunfire.

Norwood told investigators the shooting occurred during an alleged robbery attempt by Ware, but officials continued to examine evidence and awaited autopsy results before deciding whether to file charges. Norwood was later prosecuted and convicted for an unrelated heroin delivery offense, but appellate records do not show any homicide prosecution tied to Ware’s death.

Did anyone in the Fairlea area know Ware or see him the afternoon of January 20, 2016?
