On December 21, 2020, deputies from the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office responded to a Murray, Kentucky, residence after a reported shooting. At about 12:30 p.m. they found 53-year-old Luis A. Mancilla Jr. suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to Murray-Calloway County Hospital but was pronounced dead at 1:33 p.m. by the Calloway County Coroner.

Investigators worked the case through the end of 2020 and into 2021. By August 2021 detectives identified 40-year-old Benjamin S. Jones as the person alleged to be responsible. A grand jury returned an indictment charging Jones with murder, and he was arrested and booked into the Calloway County Jail. The motive and any relationship between Mancilla and Jones have not been disclosed.

If anyone knew Luis Mancilla, his movements that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
