Two facing charges for Huntington murder

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Two people are now facing charges connected to the shooting death of a Michigan man in Huntington on June 23.

On Thursday, Spanish Smith, 23, of Detroit, Michigan, was arrested in Cabell County. He was taken into custody at an apartment in Barboursville and charged with the shooting death of Eugene Scott Walmsley, 33, of Inkster, Michigan.

Walmsley was killed outside of a home on 8th Ave. in Huntington.

A second man, Timothy Anderson, 46, was arrested earlier in the week on an accessory charge for allegedly helping Walmsley hide from police after the shooting. Investigators said Anderson witnessed the crime.
