West Virginia Fugitive Fighting Extradition

• {West Virginia}...Steven Adkins, Jr., 25, who was arrested last Thursday night in Ohio on a fugitive from justice warrant out of Mason County, West Virginia, is fighting extradition back to West Virginia where he is charged with the murder of Rene Gonzalez. Forty-three year old Gonzalez was found dead at his home in Gallipolis Ferry on July 11th. Adkins will be back in court in Gallia County on August 25th. Chad McCallister, 25, of Apple Grove, and Matthew Woods, 24, of Gallipolis Ferry, were arrested by West Virginia State Police last Friday evening and charged with Gonzalez’s murder. Their preliminary hearings are set for Friday morning. According to the criminal complaint, the three men entered into a conspiracy where they planned to rob Gonzalez at his residence. The complaint then says Woods drove Adkins and McCallister to Gonzalez's’s home where Adkins got out of the vehicle with .410 gauge shotgun and went to the front door where he shot Gonzalez twice before the men drove back to McCallsiter’s residence.
