One man was killed in a shooting in Clay County this morning, and police are searching for the man who allegedly shot him.

William Christopher Belknap, 38, was found dead of a gunshot wound around 8:40 a.m., after Clay County sheriff's deputies and State Police responded to a 911 call from residents of a trailer at 986 Blue Knob Road in Maysel.

Craig Douglas Holcomb, 41, of Maysel, faces seven counts of wanton endangerment as a result of the call that came from the seven residents of the trailer, said State Police First Sgt. Okey Starsick.

Police were looking Thursday afternoon for Holcomb, who is the only suspect at this time, Starsick said. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds, with dark hair and brown eyes.

Holcomb is considered armed and dangerous, police said, and people should not approach him. Instead, they should call 911 or State Police at 304-286-3185
