Unarmed black teenager James Means fatally shot by white man who called him “another piece of trash”

On Monday night, 15-year-old James Means was reportedly shot and killed by a man he “bumped into” outside of a Dollar General store in Charleston, West Virginia. 

Means, a black teenager, was said to be unarmed. 

That same night, police arrested William Pulliam, 62, in connection with the shooting. Pulliam had gone to dinner after the shooting.

Pulliam was white and carrying a gun, despite no permit to own a firearm due to a previous conviction for domestic violence

Pulliam reportedly “admitted” to fatally shooting Means, telling police, “The way I look at it, that’s another piece of trash off the street.”

A GoFundMe has been set up for Means’ funeral

Pulliam, whose criminal history includes physical abuse of his wife and daughter, has a history of harassing teens in the area.
