Holley Ann Cullum was 16 and a student at Lawrence County High School when she was shot and killed at an apartment building on Smith Avenue in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. On the evening of December 5, 2017, emergency services found her on a porch around 8:00 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the neck; she was taken to Southern Tennessee Regional Healthcare Systems and later died of her injuries.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Kyle Daniel Welcher as the person who fired the shot. Authorities described the shooting as appearing to be accidental and said several young people were present. Welcher fled the scene but surrendered about two hours later and was arrested on a reckless homicide charge; prosecutors later added three counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon.

In August 2018 Welcher entered an open guilty plea to one count of reckless homicide and three counts of reckless endangerment, with a sentencing hearing to follow. Did anyone in Lawrenceburg know Holley or the group who were together that night and have information to share?
