Debra Sue Cave Clark, 63, was found dead inside a residence on Henson Road in Adair County on April 20, 2026. Her death was one of multiple fatal shootings that unfolded across the Columbia area and culminated in a standoff at a Chestnut Grove Road home where the suspected shooter was killed by Kentucky State Police Special Response Team members.

Investigators say the shootings began with a report that 37-year-old Michael Adam Curry had been shot. While officers responded, they encountered Ryan Sneed, who opened fire and then barricaded himself. Police located Debra’s sister, Joyce Sneed, dead at a Lakeview Drive home and later found Debra dead at the Henson Road residence. Reports indicated Debra’s death occurred before or during the early stages of the standoff. After Sneed exited the Chestnut Grove Road home armed shortly before 7 p.m., troopers fired, killing him; Curry was later found dead inside the home.

Debra was born April 22, 1962, in Lebanon, Kentucky, and was survived by a brother, nieces, great-nephews and a close friend. Her family chose cremation, with a memorial service to be announced. Did anyone in the Columbia area know Debra or have information about her movements on April 20, 2026?
