Micheal Wayne Turner, 22, was fatally shot on August 9, 2020, near Triangle Lane in Bullitt County and was later taken to University of Louisville Hospital, where he died of his injuries. Deputies from the Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and investigators identified a primary suspect, 21-year-old Trenton Schaaf.

Authorities located Schaaf in Louisville and placed him under surveillance; he was taken into custody after returning to Bullitt County and attempting to flee on foot while armed. The pistol he carried was said to match the description of the weapon taken from Turner. An arrest warrant states a witness reported Schaaf admitted to shooting Turner because he believed Turner was setting him up to be assaulted. Schaaf was charged with murder, robbery, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

Turner was born October 18, 1997, in Louisville. He attended North Bullitt High School, enjoyed sports, and was remembered for a goofy sense of humor by family and friends. Funeral services were held at Maraman Billings Funeral Home in Shepherdsville, with burial at Brookland Cemetery.
