Christopher D’Wan Carey, 27, known as Snacks, was shot to death on January 23, 2015, along Starling Drive in Kanawha County. Deputies who first responded to what appeared to be an overturned vehicle found the car flipped and Carey outside with fatal gunshot wounds; Latisha Crawford was found inside the vehicle with gunshot wounds to her right leg, right arm and upper torso and was hospitalized.

Investigators determined the scene was a shooting involving multiple firearms. Authorities later focused on Gerard Maxwell of Rand, William E. Lyttle of Costa and Todd Hodge of Rand. A grand jury returned indictments: Maxwell was indicted for murder in Carey’s death; Maxwell and Lyttle faced attempted murder, malicious wounding and wanton endangerment charges related to Crawford; Hodge was charged as an accessory after the fact. Plea deals in November 2015 had Lyttle and Hodge plead to reduced charges and agree to cooperate. In February 2016 Maxwell pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter; Lyttle and Hodge were convicted on lesser counts after admitting roles described in their pleas.

Did anyone in the Rand or Starling Drive area see activity around the apartment on January 23, 2015?
