Michelle Lee Skidmore, 35, was killed on December 29, 2014, inside her home at 170 Greenwood Avenue in the Mink Shoals area of Kanawha County, West Virginia. Her teenage son, Jonathan Skidmore, 17 at the time, escaped the house despite suffering multiple gunshot wounds and alerted neighbors, who called Metro 911. Deputies found Michelle inside and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified Michelle’s brother, Glenn David Skidmore, as the suspect. Evidence recovered from Michelle’s vehicle after his arrest included a .45-caliber handgun prosecutors later said was the murder weapon, additional firearms taken from the house, Michelle’s credit cards and receipts showing use after the shooting. Jonathan survived his injuries and later confronted his uncle at sentencing. Glenn Skidmore pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received life imprisonment with mercy; a recidivist enhancement added five years before parole eligibility.
