On May 25, 2022, Bryonny ’Bry’ Wilson, 42, was shot to death in her Lexington, Kentucky home along with her mother, 65-year-old Lisa Wilson, and sister, 38-year-old Bronwyn Wilson. Bryonny was a Henry Clay High School graduate who had worked nearly 17 years as a cataloging specialist at the Lexington Public Library, responsible for children’s books and known for making signs and displays.

Police identified 64-year-old Steven Wilson, Bryonny’s father and Lisa’s husband, as the suspect. He was taken into custody by the Lexington Police Department after the shootings. Reports say he posted on social media that he had shot his wife and two daughters; he was charged with three counts of murder-domestic violence. The family’s Caywood Drive neighborhood was described as quiet before the crime.
