On the evening of October 7, 2021, deputies from the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a disturbance at a home on Lawrenceburg Road in Chaplin, Kentucky, and found 33-year-old Darrell Lee McClain deceased from a gunshot wound. McClain, a native of Newark, Ohio, had moved to Bloomfield, Kentucky, prior to his death.

Investigators say the confrontation involved 36-year-old Calvin Woford of Bardstown. Woford was at the scene holding the pistol used in the shooting and was taken into custody; he was charged with second-degree manslaughter and held at the Nelson County Jail. Reports say the men engaged in a heated altercation, but authorities did not publicly detail what sparked the dispute.

McClain was remembered by family as a loving father who enjoyed boxing, music, and time with his family. If anyone has information about the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
