Wheeling Police are seeking help in identifying a suspect involved in an early morning homicide in the city’s Edgwood neighborhood.
Shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday, police were dispatched to Mac’s Club on Edgington Lane for multiple shots fired inside the business. When officers and EMT/paramedics arrived, they found an unresponsive victim with a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to Wheeling Hospital by the Wheeling Fire Department where they were pronounced dead. A few other people inside the business received minor, non-life- threatening injures.
The suspect is described as a young black male, possibly in his mid-20s or early 30s, with short (possibly buzzed hair), standing about five and a half feet tall and appearing to weigh about 150 pounds.
Later, around 4 a.m., police were dispatched to North Erie Street for a report of gunshots being fired. It is unknown at this time if this is related to the homicide. No one was injured during this incident.
If anyone has information, they can call police at 304-234-3664 or submit a crime tip at wheelingwv.gov/crimetip.
