Man Charged With Murder In Connection With Shooting; Claims Self-Defense [View all]

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- New information has been released on a deadly shooting that happened early Tuesday morning in Charleston. The man who shot a 22-year-old Charleston woman, Matthew Roohollahi, has now officially been charged with first degree murder.

Roohollahi's home had been targeted by a drive-by shooter three times since Sunday, the latest incident happening about 1am Tuesday.

Shortly after that shot was fired at his home on Lakin Street, he fired a single shot through his own front door. That bullet hit 22-year-old Andrena Smith -- killing her. Smith is his uncle's girlfriend.

"It's a tragedy, Adrena Smith was like my aunt. I loved her. I'm innocent," Roohollahi said as he was being taken to jail Tuesday night.
