Michael Pugh, a 22-year-old White male, was fatally shot on May 17, 2015, on Cranberry Drive in Prosperity, Raleigh County, West Virginia. The shooting occurred shortly before 9 p.m. during a confrontation investigators say stemmed from an ongoing feud. Authorities reported that the dispute escalated into a physical fight and that Andrew Rizzi of Beckley allegedly obtained a firearm during the altercation and shot Pugh in the chest. Pugh was taken to Raleigh General Hospital but died of his wounds.

Raleigh County deputies treated the incident as a homicide and said it was not a random attack. Rizzi was arrested, arraigned before Magistrate Greg Tanner, held at the Southern Regional Jail without bond, and later indicted by a Raleigh County grand jury on a charge of first-degree murder. What led up to the fight and how the firearm came into Rizzi’s possession remained under investigation. Does anyone have information about the events on Cranberry Drive that evening?
