DeAndre Moore v. Jonathan Frame

Charleston, West Virginia civil rights lawyer represented the Plaintiff seeking a writ of habeas corpus.

On July 7, 2016, David Stewart drove his girlfriend, Kaylie Gibson; and others, including the petitioner and C'Audre Boxley, to an apartment complex located in Charleston, West Virginia. Upon arrival, the petitioner fatally shot Mr. Stewart, apparently over a prior dispute involving a handgun. Ms. Gibson saw the murder, and she provided a statement to law enforcement identifying the petitioner as the murderer. In Mr. Boxley's statement to police, he said he was walking to the apartment complex and that the petitioner had stayed behind at Mr. Stewart's car when Mr. Boxley heard the gunshot. Mr. Boxley ran to the apartment complex, and he said he saw the petitioner moments later in the apartment complex with a gun. The others in Mr. Stewart's vehicle gave statements to law enforcement that corroborated Mr. Boxley's account. Additional evidence came in the form of surveillance camera footage, which captured the murder and showed that the murderer wore his hair in dreadlocks. Of the individuals seen in or near Mr. Stewart's car on the surveillance footage, only the petitioner wore dreadlocks.
