Shane Bocephus Bo Hinkle, 23, of Lewisburg, West Virginia, died on January 3, 2015, after suffering a gunshot wound inside a residence on Church Street. The incident was initially reported as a self-inflicted shooting, but investigators concluded the physical evidence and conflicting witness statements did not fit that account. Hinkle had been shot on the left side of his head while people who knew him described him as right-handed.

Residents said Hinkle and his girlfriend, Brandy Marie Dawn Black, had been arguing around 3 a.m. and that both had been using drugs heavily; witnesses reported a loud noise at about 3:30 a.m. and said Black did not call or cry for help until roughly 10 to 30 minutes later. Those details, along with other inconsistencies, led police to investigate the death as domestic-related and to arrest Black on a first-degree murder charge.

Did anyone who knew Shane or was at the house that night see or hear anything that could clarify what happened?
