On the night of January 26, 2022, 49-year-old Shannon Michelle Buchler was found dead from a gunshot wound in the 100 block of East 25th Street in Owensboro, Kentucky. Officers arrived after reports of a shooting at about 9:43 PM; two other people at the scene — an adult male and a juvenile female — also suffered life-threatening gunshot injuries.

Detectives treating the scene as a domestic disturbance identified 58-year-old Mark E. Griffith as the suspect. Investigators say Griffith, described as Buchler’s significant other, shot and killed Shannon, then shot the juvenile female and shot himself. Griffith was arrested and charged with murder for Buchler’s death, plus first-degree assault and two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment in connection with the injured victims, and was held at the Daviess County Detention Center.

If anyone knew Shannon, the household at that address, or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
