James Michael ’Mikey’ Carman was 27 and from Campbellsville, Kentucky, with deep family roots in the Walltown community of Casey County. Born April 24, 1993, he was the son of James Darren ’Tabby’ Carman and Beverly Bowen Carman, and is survived by two brothers, Jason and Daniel King, and grandparents Juanita Hatter Carman and Virginia Leach. He graduated Casey County High School in 2011 and attended Walltown Christian Church.

Shortly before 11:00 p.m. on July 21, 2020, officers were called to 102 Hill Street in Campbellsville. Taylor County Coroner Daniel Cook pronounced Carman dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound; his body was sent to the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville. Family funeral arrangements included a private service on July 26 and burial at Dunham Cemetery in Casey County.

In early September 2020 Campbellsville police arrested 21-year-old James Rawlings and 20-year-old Alexander D. Cox, both charged with murder and later indicted alongside other counts including robbery, burglary, and wanton endangerment; a 16-year-old juvenile was also arrested and charged in the case. Does anyone have information about Carman’s life in Campbellsville or details that could fill gaps in the timeline?
