Jeremy Donte Ta-Ta Caldwell, 32, was shot and killed on the afternoon of December 20, 2020, while sitting inside his vehicle in the East Bernstadt area of Laurel County, Kentucky. The shooting took place off Highway 490, about five miles north of London. After the attack the responsible parties left the scene, prompting an immediate investigation by the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators focused on two suspects, Robert Brandon Gray and Ashley B. Lewis, who were believed to have fled in a silver Pontiac G6. Gray was later located at a relative’s home and barricaded himself inside; a special response team used gas and an infrared imaging system to find him in the attic and take him into custody. Lewis was also arrested after the search. A third person, Freddy Wayne Scalf, Jr., was identified as involved in the incident.

The circumstances leading up to the shooting and the motive remain unclear from these reports. Does anyone have information about Caldwell’s movements that afternoon or about the vehicle seen near Highway 490?
