Three Murders from 2017 Still Unsolved

While Huntington deals with its highest homicide rate in recent years, Charleston police say the number of murders in 2017 was about the same as in the past. There were nine murders in Charleston last year, and there were arrests in six cases, but the Gazette-Mail reports three remain unsolved. Charleston police investigated 10 killings in 2016, seven in 2014 and seven in 2015.
