On the evening of August 25, 2022, a shooting at Harbor House Christian Center, a men’s shelter in Henderson, Kentucky, ended the life of 44-year-old resident Chad Holmes. The attack happened after a prayer service when another resident, 37-year-old Kenneth Gibbs, reportedly went to his car for a handgun and returned to open fire. Steven Wathen, 67, was also killed and two other men were wounded.

Gibbs fled in a white Toyota Prius but was located and arrested a few hours later near the Hays Boat Ramp by the Henderson Police Department. He was charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder. In August 2024 Gibbs pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder and was sentenced in September 2024 to life without parole.

Anyone who knew Chad, his time at Harbor House, or saw anything that night is asked to come forward with information.
