BLUEFIELD — Members of the Mercer County Grand Jury will be receiving cases for both defendants in the December 2007 shooting death of a Bluefield man.
Mario Goodson, 18, appeared Monday for a preliminary hearing before Magistrate Rick Fowler. Fowler found probable cause in Goodson’s case and bound him over to the Mercer County Grand Jury.
Both Goodson and Kenneth Dwayne Eaves, 19, of Bluefield are facing charges of conspiracy and first-degree murder in the Dec. 14, 2007 death of 28-year-old William Jerome Flack of Bluefield. Detective L.B. Murphy of the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department testified Feb. 8 that witnesses allegedly heard Eaves order a second person, Goodson, to shoot Flack.
Eaves surrendered to sheriff’s department investigators in February. Goodson went to California where he was later arrested.
Both Goodson and Eaves are being held at the Southern Regional Jail near Beckley without bond.
