There was a shooting in Dalewood Trailer Park around 6:30 p.m. January 1, 2018. It was reported two men were shot by another man who fled the area.
The victims were taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. One victim was Clifton Henderson, 23 years old of Bluefield, WV. The second victim sustained bruising from being struck by a bullet during the shooting, but the bullet did not enter his body after it slowed going through walls and furniture to strike him in his living room as multiple gunshots were fired.
The shooting appears to have been the conclusion of a robbery in the street. Last night a person of interest was detained on Big Tyler Road, and subsequently arrested for obstructing an officer. No one has been charged yet for the shooting.
At this time detectives have leads and are still investigating. If you have information on the matter, please call 304-357-0169, or submit a tip on our website at www.kanawhasheriff.us. Tips can also be emailed to tips@kanawhasheriff.us.
