Gerald Jerry Wayne Paris, 80, was found shot to death in his Marion, Kentucky home on February 28, 2022. A veteran who served in Korea and the former owner of Uniguard Security Agency, Paris was discovered inside his residence on Blackburn Church Road after law enforcement responded to a call from one son reporting that another son, Timothy Paris, had confessed to shooting their father.

Officers located Timothy, 37, sitting on the porch of a nearby mobile home and then entered the locked house, finding Gerald Paris deceased from multiple gunshot wounds; EMS personnel were dismissed when it was clear the injuries were fatal. Timothy Paris was taken into custody and charged with murder and booked into the Crittenden County Detention Center. The Kentucky State Police handled the investigation; authorities did not immediately release a motive.

Does anyone in Marion or the surrounding area have information about Gerald Paris, his family, or what may have led to this fatal confrontation?
