A 19-year-old West Virginia woman, Claudia Torres, faces first-degree murder charges for allegedly shooting her 28-year-old friend Austin Lamb three times after claiming he groped her.

Shooting Details
On February 28, 2026, after midnight, Parkersburg police found Lamb dead on a couch from multiple gunshot wounds at a residence. Torres called 911 herself, stating the man she thought was her friend tried to grope her, so she shot him; she repeated this to officers during transport.
