MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A Virginia woman will serve 30 years in prison for a 2022 Morgantown murder.
Tracey Hamby, 33, was convicted of second-degree murder in October of 2024 in connection with the 2022 shooting death of Matthew Vaughn at an apartment on Van Gilder Avenue in Morgantown.
Monongalia County Circuit Court Judge Cindy Scott denied a request for a new trial because of some evidence that was excluded during her trial.
After witness statements were given by Hamby’s daughter and Vaughn’s parents Judge Scott ordered her to serve 30 years in prison. Some form of restitution will considered at a later hearing.
A request for home confinement was denied.
