In May 2022 a fatal domestic shooting in Shively, Kentucky ended the life of 49-year-old Cindy Burdette and wounded her young daughter. The violence happened in the early morning at the family home on Appleton Lane. The couple’s 12-year-old twins, a son and a daughter, witnessed the attack and were the ones who called for help and alerted relatives.

Police found Cindy Burdette in a hallway and she was pronounced dead at the scene; her daughter suffered a gunshot wound to the neck and their son was unharmed though he had been shot at. Investigators identified 56-year-old Ronald Burdette, Cindy’s husband, as the suspect; he fled but was captured the next day in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Reports state Ronald Burdette admitted to the shootings and later pleaded guilty to murder, assault, and wanton endangerment, receiving a 25-year prison sentence.

If anyone knew the Burdettes or has information about the household circumstances before May 2022, please share what you know.
