On the evening of April 2, 2023, 41-year-old Roger Benningfield Jr. was found inside a residence on Curtis Street in Lewisport, Kentucky with a single gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injury.

Lewisport Police responded and requested assistance from the Kentucky State Police. Investigators focused on 57-year-old Dianna Boyd McKinney of Lewisport, who was taken into custody and initially charged with assault and tampering with physical evidence. After Benningfield’s death, authorities said the charges were likely to be upgraded to murder; McKinney was lodged at the Breckenridge County Jail pending court proceedings.
