West Virginia State Police say that Mike Ball, 48, was shot and killed at a residence on Cadle Run Road near Stinson early Saturday morning.
Ball was a former resident of a neighboring county, unrelated to a Grantsville man by the same name.
First Sgt. O. S. Starsick said Ball was in a domestic dispute with his significant other Venessa Clevenger about 1 a.m. Saturday, threatening her with a knife, holding a knife to her throat.
Cleavenger managed to escape to a next door mobile home, with Ball continuing to follow her, knocking the door down, continuing to threaten her with the knife.
Sgt. Starsick said that's when Cleavenger's son, Lawrence King-Isenhart shot Ball, who died at the scene.
Ball's body was taken to the state medical examiners office for an autopsy.
Sgt. Starsick said the case is being reviewed by the agency and the prosecutor, indicating it is not likely any charges will be filed.
