Thomas Rison, 42, was shot and killed on the evening of his birthday, Monday, February 3, 2025, on Baldwin Street in Berea, Kentucky. Police responded to a report of shots fired about 8:20 p.m. and found Rison with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died.

Investigators identified 75-year-old Steven Gerlaugh as a suspect after an eyewitness named him and surveillance footage reportedly captured the encounter. The video is said to show Gerlaugh in a vehicle as Rison stood at the driver’s side window, a muzzle flash, then Rison retreating and collapsing. Gerlaugh allegedly left the scene and was later stopped by a Garrard County deputy, arrested, charged with murder and booked in the Madison County Detention Center. He pleaded not guilty at arraignment and bond was set at $200,000.

Are there witnesses or anyone with additional footage from Baldwin Street that could shed light on what happened that night?
