Lester Charles Chucky Daniel, 32, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of a Sunday in late May 2021 on KY 1482 near Oneida, Kentucky. Police say a verbal argument between Daniel and 33-year-old Jeffery Sean Sandlin escalated and Sandlin allegedly produced a firearm and fired, striking Daniel. Daniel was taken to Manchester Advent Health Hospital and later pronounced dead by the Clay County Coroner.

Sandlin was taken into custody and charged with murder; he was lodged in the Clay County Detention Center as the Kentucky State Police continued the investigation with assistance from the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, Clay County EMS, and the coroner’s office. Daniel was a father to a son named Gavyn and a brother to several siblings.
