Kevin Hudson was 17 and living with family near Morgantown, West Virginia, when he was killed in a mass shooting at the Richardson family home on Sugar Grove Road on Monday, September 5, 2011. He had previously lived in Ansonia, Connecticut, and relatives remembered him as kind, well-liked and artistic. The attack left five people dead: Kevin; his mother, Karin Richardson; his sister, Katrina Hudson, who was six months pregnant; his stepfather, Charles Richardson III; and Robert Raber Jr., Katrina’s fiancé.

Investigators identified 24-year-old Shayne Franklin Riggleman as the suspected gunman. Police said Riggleman opened fire at the Sugar Grove Road residence with what they believed was a high-powered rifle, then fled. He later confronted the former girlfriend linked to the family, was involved in a deliberate vehicle collision that seriously injured another driver, shot two people who survived, and ultimately died of a self-inflicted wound after a brief pursuit in Kentucky. Firearms recovered from his vehicle included the rifle thought to have been used in the Morgantown killings. No trial or conviction followed because the suspected shooter died during the flight.

Did anyone who knew Kevin or the Richardson family have details about their lives in West Virginia or Connecticut that could add context to this tragedy?
