Captain George W. Myers, 54, a 19-year veteran and decorated member of the Kenova Police Department, was killed on the evening of May 15, 1982, after responding off duty to a dispatch about two men on motorcycles reportedly chasing a woman. Although out of uniform and in his personal vehicle, he located and stopped one of the men. The man, identified as Gerald Wayne Hager, drew a .32 caliber handgun and shot Myers four times. Myers returned fire and wounded Hager; two other officers arrived and the wounded suspect was taken into custody. Myers was taken to a local hospital but died minutes after arrival.

Hager was arrested and later convicted of first-degree murder by a jury in December 1982 and sentenced to life in prison. That conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia on March 25, 1986.

Did anyone in the Kenova area have contact with Captain Myers or recall the incident on May 15, 1982?
