Judge says warrants valid in Overstreet case as trial nears for baby's 2021 murder
SUMMARY: Shannon Overstreet, accused of murdering his three-month-old baby Angel in 2021, appeared in Cabell County court as his October trial nears. Prosecutors aim to validate evidence to shorten the anticipated lengthy trial. They presented search warrants from May 2021 covering Overstreet’s homes, car, phones, computers, and Ring camera. Overstreet reportedly purchased suspicious items, including a 55-gallon barrel later found with bone fragments at his Kentucky farm. Angel wasn’t reported missing publicly until May 25th, with Overstreet arrested on unrelated charges before his December 2023 murder indictment. Judge Ferguson ruled the warrants valid but will review Overstreet’s recorded statements before finalizing evidence admissibility.
A man accused of murdering his 3-month-old baby in Huntington and disposing of her body in Kentucky in 2021 was back in court in Cabell County.

Flash floods, street flooding impact much of the Tri-State
SUMMARY: Flash floods and street flooding have severely impacted much of the Tri-State area, especially along 4th Avenue near 25th Street in the East End of Huntington. Despite an ongoing sewer project designed to alleviate flooding, heavy rains continue to cause significant water accumulation. The flood mitigation work, intended to reduce future incidents, remains months from completion, making the area vulnerable in the meantime. Nearby Charleston also experiences flooding issues, notably during events like the Sternwheel Regatta on the river. These flooding challenges highlight the urgent need for improved infrastructure and continued prioritization of flood control measures across the region.
Flash floods and street flooding impacted much of the Tri-State on Tuesday afternoon.
