Megan McCray was 33 and worked as a dog trainer in Latonia, Kentucky. On the evening of February 10, 2021, she was at a home in Taylor Mill with her boyfriend, Shane Walters, when a handgun discharged and struck her in the chest, killing her. Walters was reportedly heavily intoxicated and had been attempting to show her how to disassemble and reassemble the firearm; he told investigators he did not know the gun was loaded when he pulled the trigger to release the slide.

A blood sample taken from Walters about six hours after the shooting showed a blood alcohol content of .12. That result prompted authorities to treat the death as involving reckless conduct rather than a simple, isolated accident. In February 2023 Walters pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter; prosecutors recommended a five-year sentence under a plea agreement. Walters did not appear for sentencing and was later located and taken into custody.

If anyone knew Megan, her routines, or was at the Taylor Mill house that night, please share information that could clarify what happened.
