Myers, 67, said on a 911 call that 'his brother was shot and that he was dead', according to the criminal complaint. The dispatcher asked if he had shot himself, and Myers said he would tell officers 'when they get there'. His brother was found lying dead near the front door on the porch at the home in Keyser that they both shared together. Blood was seen on the ground and he had a gunshot wound on his upper back. The brother was taken to hospital for an examination. While no weapons were found by the victim, Myers said he used a 8mm Mauser rifle to shoot him dead. He told officers that he 'felt like a prisoner' in the home. Myers has been charged with murder and is being held in the Potomac Highlands Regional Jail.
