A birthday party near the Tennessee–Kentucky line turned deadly on the night of June 22, 2014. A fight at a private venue known as Big D’s Birthday Bash spilled outside, where gunfire erupted and 23-year-old Ralphthaniel Magee was fatally wounded. Two women were also treated for graze wounds from bullets.

Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office investigators described the probe as sensitive and ongoing. Detectives identified a person of interest with ties to both Tennessee and Kentucky and said they were working to locate that individual. The Sheriff’s Office publicly appealed for anyone who attended the party to share what they saw; officials said witness statements were key to reconstructing the sequence of events.

No arrests were announced in the immediate aftermath and the investigation remained a priority. If anyone was at the party or has information about who fired the shots, please come forward and share what was seen or heard.
