A neighbor dispute over a dog in the rural Short Creek area of Falls-of-Rough, Kentucky, ended with the death of 46-year-old Benjamin Vibbert on the morning of Thursday, February 2, 2023. The shooting occurred around 10:39 a.m. near the 100 block of Keith’s Crossing after a confrontation between Vibbert and his neighbor, 42-year-old Michael Baker. Reports say the argument intensified and that Vibbert at some point brandished a knife; Baker allegedly shot Vibbert.

First responders found Vibbert with a gunshot wound and the Grayson County Coroner pronounced him deceased at the scene. Baker reportedly remained at the scene and waited for police; the Kentucky State Police turned the case over to a Grayson County Grand Jury for review and no grand jury outcome has been reported.

Vibbert was remembered as a talented craftsman and avid outdoorsman who left a wife, two children, and a large extended family.\n\nDid anyone in the Falls-of-Rough or Short Creek area see or hear anything that morning that could help clarify what happened?
