Charles R. Bussell, 40, was fatally shot while driving on State Highway 63 near the Ausmus Lane intersection in Speedwell, Claiborne County, on November 27, 2019. What was first reported as a traffic crash around 1:20 p.m. turned out to be a shooting; Bussell’s vehicle had left the road and struck a tree after he was shot, and the impact was not the cause of death.

Investigators focused on the passenger, 24-year-old Jacob Cory McGeorge of Pineville, Kentucky. McGeorge was taken into custody and initially charged with criminal homicide; a grand jury later indicted him on second-degree murder. The motive for the shooting has not been released.

Does anyone who travels Highway 63 around Speedwell remember seeing that vehicle or the two men that afternoon, or have information about their activities before the crash?
