Je’Kobi Marshaun Wells, 21, was killed on December 21, 2020, in Paris, Kentucky. A former Paris High School basketball standout, Wells entered a Ford Fusion on Stewart Street with three others for what has been described as a marijuana transaction. An argument broke out over payment, and Tyre Conner later told police he believed Wells was reaching for a handgun. Conner then fired a .22 caliber handgun; when it jammed he reportedly used a 9mm and fired additional shots. Wells exited the vehicle at the intersection of Williams Street and Marshall Street and collapsed. He was taken to Bourbon Community Hospital, where he died. The driver, Emilia Zahabi-Wisdom, fled after Wells got out.

Investigators arrested three people in connection with the case. Tyre Conner was charged with murder, first-degree robbery, and engaging in organized crime. Emilia Zahabi-Wisdom was charged with complicity to commit murder, first-degree robbery, engaging in organized crime, and tampering with physical evidence; police say the car was cleaned after the shooting. A third person, Isaiah Beasley, was later indicted on charges of complicity to commit murder, complicity to robbery, and tampering with evidence.

Does anyone in the Paris area have information about the transaction, the vehicle, or what happened on Stewart, Williams, and Marshall streets that evening?
