On the evening of August 5, 2019, 42-year-old Tifton C. Gamble was fatally shot in Franklin, Kentucky. A native of Warren County and a longtime presence in the Franklin and Simpson County area, Gamble was remembered as cool and laid-back, though those close to him said he could become protective when he felt threatened.

The Franklin Police Department investigated the shooting and made an arrest in connection with the deadly incident. Gamble’s obituary lists him as the son of Roy C. and Alice Gamble; funeral services were held later that week. His death left a noticeable void in the Harristown neighborhood and among friends and family who recalled his unique style and steady presence.

If anyone in Franklin knew Tifton or witnessed the events of that evening, please share what you know.
