A family gathering in the small community of Calvin, Kentucky, ended in a fatal shooting on Christmas night. Michael Smith, 55, was shot during an altercation among family members inside a residence on Highway 3482. A call to Bell County dispatch came in at 10:24 p.m. reporting an unresponsive male; deputies found CPR had been given but the gunshot wounds were fatal and the deputy coroner pronounced Michael Smith dead at the scene.

The Bell County Sheriff’s Department secured the scene and began an investigation. In the days afterward an 18-year-old family member, Hunter Smith, was arrested on December 30 and charged with first-degree manslaughter; he was lodged in the Bell County Detention Center. The investigation is ongoing.

If anyone has information about that December 25 incident or was at the residence that night, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
