Christopher Andrew Body Hart, 26, was fatally shot inside his Locust Avenue apartment in Clarksburg, West Virginia, on July 26, 2013. Investigators say the shooting occurred during an attempt to collect a large drug debt; Todd Russell Amos was also killed inside the apartment. Police identified Sidney Arthur Muller of Fairmont as the gunman after Hart’s mother, who lived next door, heard gunfire and found Hart still alive. Hart reportedly named his shooter before dying.

After leaving the apartment, Muller is reported to have encountered newspaper carriers Fred Swiger and his son Freddie Swiger and shot them as they made their morning deliveries; both were killed. Muller was located that same day, questioned, and arrested. He was charged in the four killings, and later pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder for Hart and Amos and two counts of first-degree murder for the Swigers. Sentences were imposed under a negotiated agreement that combined concurrent terms and life sentences, with the life terms to follow the 25-year sentences for Hart and Amos.

Did anyone who knew Christopher or who was familiar with his neighborhood remember tensions over drug debts in 2013 or details about his activities around that time?
