HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) –Three people have been indicted in connection with that double murder in Huntington on Election Day.

The November 6 shootings happened at a house in the 1900 block of Foster Avenue.

Darrell Fuqua, 22, of Detroit, died at the scene. Devonte Penn, 17, of Detroit, died about 10 days later at a Huntington Hospital.

Police arrested Rocky Williams, 19, of Huntington, and Thomas White, 21, of Huntington for the murders.

Wednesday, a Cabell County Grand Jury indicted Williams and White for the murders. Williams was also charged with 7 counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and 1 count of carrying a concealed deadly weapon.

Also indicted, Charity Cornel, 35, who lived in the house where the shooting happened. She was charged with maintaining a known drug house.

Rocky Williams, 19, of Huntington, is charged with the murders of Darrell Fuqua, 22, and Devonte Penn, 17, both of Detroit. The shooting happened at a house on Foster Avenue.

During a hearing in Cabell County Circuit Court, Williams’ attorney asked that his bond be reduced, saying the charges should be malicious wounding not murder.

His attorney, Jason Goad, told the court that Mr. Williams was sitting down stairs with another individual when his co-defendant, Thomas White came down the stairs bleeding from a gunshot wound. He said Williams panicked and ran out while firing backwards.

The judge denied the request

Thomas White, 21, of Huntington, is also charged with two counts of murder during commission of a felony in the same shootings.

Both Williams and White are being held without bond in the Western Regional Jail while the case goes to a grand jury.

“That's my only son,” Williams said. “It hurts. It really does.”

Her son, Rocky Williams, is charged with two counts of murder.

Rocky Williams and fellow suspect Thomas White are accused of shooting and killing two men inside a Huntington drug house last week.

At Rocky Williams’ preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon, Huntington Police Detective Chris Sperry said he believes it started out as a robbery.

“They had made a plan together, the two individuals, before they arrived at the residence to get the dope,” Sperry said.

But that robbery went drastically wrong. Sperry says the problems began while White was upstairs. A teenage girl who lived in the house witnessed the whole thing.

“She said she heard some arguing,” Sperry said. “Heard some gunshots. And she ran into the bedroom, to her mother, called 911. Which her mother was asleep.”

Police say Darrell Fuqua died from those gunshots. But that wasn't the end of the bloodshed.

“He already had his gun out ... Had it right here ... Sitting on the couch,” Sperry said. “He said when he heard Mr. White coming down the stairs, he got up and as he ran out the door: Pow, pow, pow, pow”

Devonte Penn was hit by those shots. He was losing blood quickly when he told police what happened.

“He said Rocky is the one that shot me and he's got a big mole on his face,” Sperry said. “Soon after that, he coded.”

Penn was kept on a ventilator until this weekend when he also died. Rocky Williams and Thomas White were arraigned Tuesday on murder charges in connection with the deaths of Penn and Fuqua.

“I want everyone to know out there, I'm sorry for what happened,” Debra Williams said. “There's nothing I can do to take it back.”

Bond was denied for both suspects. Williams’ attorney says the shots he fired were in self defense.

Tuesday, Huntington Police arrested Thomas M. White, 21, of Huntington, and charged him with two counts of felony murder.

White was arraigned on Tuesday afternoon. He is being held without bond and is scheduled to be back in court next week for a preliminary hearing.

The shooting happened last Tuesday on Foster Avenue. White had been in the hospital since the shooting.

During Williams' preliminary hearing Tuesday morning, Detective Chris Sperry testified that police believe, after speaking with doctors, that Thomas White shot himself. He showed up to the arraignment Tuesday in a wheelchair and hospital gown, barely able to move.
