Saturday night crews responded to a shooting at 11:00 on Board Street in Salem.

The Harrison County Sheriff's department says that when they arrived on scene, they found 42 year old William Lewis Griffith dead inside the home.

Right now, five people have been arrested in connection with the shooting.

James Stewart, Kevin Washington, Danni Bohnenkamp and Brandy Freeman are in the North Central Regional Jail; each charged with murder and two counts of aggravated robbery.

A 16 year-old boy is also charged with the same three counts and is being held in a juvenile detention center.

Chief Albert Morano of the Harrison County Sheriff's Department says what was key in this case is the large amount of police and other law enforcement officials at the scene.

Officials do believe that the cause of the shooting was drug related.
