Marissa Renee Copeland was shot on the afternoon of June 21, 2019, at Lakeland Resort in the Aurora community of Marshall County, Kentucky. Deputies were dispatched at about 2 p.m.; Copeland, 19, was taken to a local hospital and died of her injuries.

Investigators secured the scene and obtained a search warrant for the resort. Officers found methamphetamine, digital scales, plastic baggies and small quantities of suspected methamphetamine, and arrested 25-year-old Blake Williams on state charges of first-degree possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. A marshal deputy publicly identified Williams as a person of interest in the death investigation, but available reports from the period do not show he was charged with murder, manslaughter or another homicide offense.

Copeland was born in Paducah, grew up in the Calvert City area and graduated from Marshall County High School in 2017, where she played varsity softball. Does anyone who knew Marissa or was at Lakeland Resort on June 21, 2019, have information that could help investigators?
