Man indicted for murder

WINFIELD, W.Va. -- A Red House man was indicted this week in the shooting death of a woman in her home and the attempted murder of her fiancé.


Jesse J. Cossin, 21, was indicted by a Putnam County grand jury on charges of murder in the first degree and attempted murder in connection with the Feb. 19 shooting of 20-year-old Angela Dawn Casto and Nick Hanshaw in their home in Red House.


Cossin allegedly knocked on Casto's and Hanshaw's door, then opened fire, hitting Casto in the chest and Hanshaw, 24, in the leg.


Cossin struggled with Hanshaw before fleeing. Casto was pronounced dead at the scene. Police found Cossin hiding in the area.
