On the morning of September 4, 2019, 24-year-old Coty Lee Brumback of Frankfort, Kentucky, was shot and killed in a downtown parking garage on St. Clair Street after a verbal disagreement at a nearby bar. Surveillance footage shows the dispute continued in the garage, where Antonio Dewayne Bolling followed Brumback and his friends, opened fire, and shot Brumback’s dog Baloo first. Brumback sustained gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen; friends who had taken cover applied pressure before he was taken to Frankfort Regional Medical Center, where he died during surgery a few hours later. Baloo was killed at the scene.

Antonio Bolling was arrested and charged with murder, being a felon in possession of a handgun, tampering with physical evidence, and cruelty to animals. Nena Washington, who was with Bolling, was charged with complicity to commit murder and second-degree cruelty to animals for providing the weapon and helping Bolling leave the scene. In January 2023 Bolling pleaded guilty to murder, cruelty to animals, and related counts and received a 25-year prison sentence; Washington had pleaded guilty in December 2021 and received a five-year sentence with probation contingent on testifying.

Does anyone have information about the bar, the parking garage, or the events that led to the argument that night?
