On the morning of August 24, 2024, a shooting on Wolf River Dock Road, a few miles from Albany in Clinton County, Kentucky, ended with 51-year-old Wesley Russell found dead of multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies and Kentucky State Police troopers responded to a call about a shooting around 11:30 a.m. and discovered Russell’s body; he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Clinton County Coroner.

The preliminary investigation indicated a domestic violence incident involving Wesley and his 48-year-old wife, Mary Russell. Mary sustained injuries and was taken to The Medical Center at Albany for treatment; after her release she was arrested and charged with murder. A Kentucky State Police detective is leading the ongoing inquiry as the case moves through the legal system.

If anyone knew Wesley or has information about what happened that morning, please share what you know with investigators.
