On the morning of April 29, 2024, the body of 54-year-old Benjamin Franklin Jones Jr. was found in the roadway on Sandhill Road in Livingston, Kentucky, with apparent gunshot wounds. The Rockcastle County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene and his body was sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy. The discovery prompted a Kentucky State Police homicide investigation that added to a second county homicide inquiry within 24 hours.

An anonymous call to Rockcastle County 911 around 11:40 a.m. reported a man had been shot. Kentucky State Police troopers, Rockcastle County deputies, EMS and the Coroner responded. Detectives from KSP Post 11 led the probe and later that day located 54-year-old Terry Lee Burke on Misty Lane in Mount Vernon; Burke was arrested and charged with murder and lodged in the Rockcastle County Detention Center. The investigation into Jones Jr.’s death remains ongoing.
