PRINCETON — A suspect in the Dec. 2007 shooting death of a Bluefield man and a Bluewell resident charged in the August shooting death of a 19-year-old woman have been indicted by the Mercer County Grand Jury.
In February, Mario Creed Goodson, 19, was arrested in California and later charged with first-degree murder in the death of 28-year-old William Jerome Flack of Bluefield at the former Pucker’s nightclub in Green Valley.
The grand jury indicted Goodson on first-degree murder, according to the indictments list issued Friday by the Mercer County Circuit Clerk’s Office.
A second person charged in Flack’s death, Kenneth Dwayne Eaves, 20, of Bluefield was released Aug. 4 with time served. Eaves pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiracy to commit murder and was freed after approximately six months in jail.
Investigators have said that the shooting occurred after an argument between Goodson, Eaves and Flack.
The grand jury also returned a first-degree murder indictment in the case of Edward Omarrah Jr., 30, of Bluewell. Omarrah was arrested after the shooting death of Renee Lorine Coleman, 19 of Lorton Lick Road and formerly of Panther. Coleman died Aug. 5 at Bluefield Regional Medical Center due to a single gunshot wound to the chest.
At the time of the shooting, Trooper First Class A.P. Christian of the West Virginia State Police, Princeton detachment said Omarrah initially told him that the shooting was an accident. The shooting was the apparent result of an argument between Omarrah and Coleman, he said.
