Authorities are asking the public to help identify the person
in the sketch. He is described as a heavy-set white male
Ballistic tests now show that at least three victims
in a series of sniper-style slayings in Kanawha County were killed
by the same weapon.
Police have released a composite sketch of the suspect, a
heavy-set white male.
Charleston Police say that
31-year-old Jeanie Patton, 26-year-old Okey Meadows Junior and
44-year-old Gary Carrier Junior were all shot by a .22-caliber
rifle.
Based on witness accounts, investigators are looking for a
dark-colored, two-tone Ford F-150 extended cab pickup that was
spotted at the scenes of the Patton and Meadows shootings.
Authorities have not linked drugs or the pickup truck to the
shooting of 44-year-old Gary Carrier Junior, who was killed outside
a Charleston convenience store on August 10.
