On the morning of July 22, 2023, a shooting in the parking lot of a Waffle House on South Dixie Boulevard in Radcliff, Kentucky, left 30-year-old Carlos Bello and 19-year-old Shane Estrada dead. Both men were found shot at about 4:00 a.m. after a confrontation in the restaurant’s parking area.

Investigators identified two suspects. Police arrested 33-year-old Rodshad Akeem Bowser-Highsmith of Elizabethtown two days after the killings; authorities say surveillance footage captured Bowser-Highsmith and another person plotting to steal a firearm from one of the victims, and that Bowser-Highsmith admitted to firing multiple shots into a vehicle as it was leaving, striking both men. A second suspect, 25-year-old Darien Khalil McGary of Radcliff, was arrested in late September 2023 and faces charges of complicity to murder and complicity to robbery.

Both men are charged with two counts of murder and first-degree robbery and the case was active in court with mediation discussed. If anyone witnessed the incident or has information about the events that night, please share what is known with investigators.
