FAIRMONT, W.Va (WDTV) – A sixth man has been arrested this week in relation to a Marion County Pagan Motorcycle Club murder.
Ryan Lane, 36, of Fairmont, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder on Tuesday, according to Marion County Sheriff Jimmy Riffle.
Deputies served a search warrant at Lane’s residence Tuesday morning in regard to an ongoing investigation into Henry Silver’s 2022 murder, Riffle said.
Silver was shot and killed on September 9, 2022 in the Carolina area of Marion County. John Wolfe, a member of the Pagan Motorcycle Club who was found guilty of Silver’s murder in April, learned of a hidden relationship involving Silver and his girlfriend. Deputies allege that Wolfe conspired with other members of the club to murder Silver.
Lane texted Wolfe about the situation multiple times. In one text, Lane tells Wolfe they need to “handle that f——,” according to court documents. Ten minutes prior to the murder occurring, Wolfe texted Lane and told him “keep ur phone on I might need bail money.” After that text, deputies said Lane continued to communicate with Wolfe and traveled to where he believed he would be to discuss the events that occurred.
In June 2023, four other men were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy in relation to the murder. Jonathan Biller, Derek Clem, Dane Hull and Austin Mullins were arrested at that point of the investigation, deputies said.
The investigation is still ongoing, Riffle said.
