The 62-year-old man accused of shooting and killing an unarmed teenager on Charleston’s East End Monday night was not allowed to have a gun, because of a previous domestic violence conviction.

William Ronald Pulliam allegedly shot 15-year-old James Harvey Means twice in the abdomen with a .380 caliber revolver.

Police said Pulliam showed no remorse after his arrest. He admitted shooting Means and said, “The way I look at it, that’s another piece of trash off the street,” according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.


quote:


The teenager was shot after a confrontation with Pulliam outside the Dollar General store at the corner of Washington and Nancy streets around 8:45 p.m. Monday.

Witnesses saw and heard Pulliam and Means exchange words after the two physically bumped into each other on the sidewalk near Dollar General, according to the complaint. After the argument, Pulliam entered the store, while Means joined friends on the porch at the nearby home of a companion’s grandmother.

After Pulliam emerged from the store and walked past the porch where Means and his friends had gathered, the two argued again, and after Means crossed Washington Street East to approach the man, Pulliam shot Means twice, according to the complaint. The teen died shortly after arrival at Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital.


quote:

Pulliam pleaded no contest in 2013 to a charge of domestic battery, which bars him from legally possessing a gun.

According to another criminal complaint in Kanawha Magistrate Court, Pulliam struck his pregnant daughter in the face several times with a closed fist and kicked her in the stomach. He also shoved his wife to the ground during that incident, according to the complaint.

The most interesting part of that article was the fact that the man used a .380 revolver. Wonder what kind that was.

No clue, but if I was ever going to shoot somebody, the revolver is the only way to go. No shell casings.

Never start a fight with an old man, we might not feel like fighting and will just kill you instead.

Really? So hanging on a porch and mouthing off means they are going to jump someone? Way to blame the victim.

[quote]White said he’s had run-ins with Pulliam in the past, when Pulliam would “pick on” his younger brother. “One time I went over there to talk to him about it, I said, ‘You’ve got to quit picking on my little brother, that doesn’t look right,’” White said. “He said, ‘Get the [expletive] off my property.’ He said I need to go on with my nappy Latino self. He’s just a real bad guy.” White said he’s called the police about Pulliam before, and was told to avoid the man.

We don’t want anyone posting any type of hatred or revengeful words on Facebook, because James wouldn’t want it. And we don’t want it,” the teen’s aunt said. Means recently had started attending weekly meetings held by the local nonprofit Dreams Community Development Corporation at the West Virginia State Economic Development Center. It was at those meetings, known as Sunday Sit-Down, where director Obi Henderson first got to know Means. “It was only his second time coming to Sunday Sit-Down,” Henderson said. The meetings teach local youths, dubbed “Dream Chasers,” about developing their communication skills and “soft skills,” and other career development tools. “He wanted to create an auto-mechanic shop,” Henderson said.


Pitiful that the TPOS 62 year old man took his life

The "victim" put himself in a position to appear threatening. Why was the "victim" crossing the street to approach the man? You think he was going to help the man put his groceries in the car? It isn't that difficult to beat a person to death. I'm not letting a person swing on me first before I decide to defend myself. From the information in the article there are some pretty clear signs that the "victim" was escalating the situation.

SO who said the teen approached him ? The murderer?

quote:

shot him twice in the abdomen on the sidewalk in the 1500 block of Washington Street East on Charleston’s East End.

No, this should tell you all you need to know. The man allegedly had a history of harassing the kids. The teen on the other hand, was attending dream chaser meetings and wanted to open an auto mechanic shop.
ANd let's not forget the man had quite a history of violent battery

Sure. Except the murderer had a history of harassing these teens. The man started it and ended it. It's disgusting and predictable that people like you defend the man. The kid had no history of violence; the man, on the other hand, did.

Whatever happened between the shooter and the teens days or weeks before the shooting is irrelevant. Tpos came off the porch to confront.

Know how I know this,
Where was he shot? On the porch or on the sidewalk?
