Lexus Chantell Wilson, 23, of Leitchfield, Kentucky, was found dead in her home on June 29, 2022. First responders were called that afternoon to a report of a suicide at a residence on Decker School Road and discovered Lexus with a single gunshot wound. Investigators at the scene soon suspected foul play after the Grayson County Coroner observed suspicious blood spatter on both Lexus and her husband, Orbay Wilson, which prompted Kentucky State Police to assist the sheriff’s office.

Detectives later questioned 28-year-old Orbay Wilson; court documents say he confessed to shooting his wife while she slept, placing the gun by her head afterwards, and calling 911 to report her death. He was arrested and initially charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence. A grand jury indicted him in August 2022, and a superseding indictment in February 2023 added charges related to child sexual abuse involving a victim under 12 that allegedly occurred in the days before Lexus’s killing. In March 2023 he pleaded guilty to all charges, including murder (domestic violence) and the child sex offenses, and was sentenced in June 2023 to life in prison for Lexus’s murder, with other sentences to run concurrently.
