On April 6, 2020, officers responding to a welfare check at 778 Hodge Street in Madisonville, Kentucky, found two brothers dead from gunshot wounds to the head. Forty-year-old Joseph Wayne Gipson and 43-year-old Elvis Junior Gipson were both located on the floor of the home. A third man, 26-year-old Gunner Madison, suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to Baptist Health Hospital for treatment.

Police identified 36-year-old Jeremy Wicks of Madisonville as the person responsible. Detectives recovered multiple items of evidence at the scene that implicated Wicks. He was charged with two counts of murder for the deaths of Joseph and Elvis Gipson, one count of first-degree assault for the shooting of Gunner Madison, and several drug-related charges. Wicks later pleaded guilty and was sentenced in Hopkins County to life in prison for the killings and the assault.

Did anyone in the area know Joseph or Elvis Gipson, or have information about what led to the shootings?
