Two people were shot in the head when 4 to 6 shots were fired into a home on Charleston's West Side Friday night, according to Lt. Steve Cooper, chief of detectives for Charleston Police Department.
One of the victims was Shannon Cade, a 20-year-old man who is listed to be in critical condition. A 14-year-old girl was also shot and sustained minor injuries.
The shooting was reported shortly before 11 p.m. in the 800 block of Matthews Avenue.
The police have not released the names of any suspects.
Friday's shooting was the latest in a series of shootings on the West Side. J'Shaad Jones, 18, of Charleston, was killed in the early morning hours of Dec. 31 outside of Artie's Kickback Lounge, at 935 Central Ave. Marlon Rush is charged with murder in the case. Another man, Bryan Rogers, 29, of the Ripley area, was shot and killed Sunday Dec. 27. Tremaine Jackson, of Charleston, is charged with first-degree murder in Rogers' death. Jackson told police that Rogers had stolen about $3,000 worth of heroin from him several weeks earlier, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
"In all of these cases, the suspects and victims have known each other," Cooper said. "We don't have random shootings."
