On a Tuesday evening in May 2019, Justin A. Wix, 47, was found dead near the driveway of his Stinson Lane residence in rural Scottsville, Kentucky, close to the Tennessee state line. The Allen County Coroner’s Office pronounced him dead at the scene after he sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Kentucky State Police opened a homicide investigation into the killing of the man born March 22, 1972.

Detectives worked the case for months and developed leads that pointed beyond the immediate area, ultimately focusing on Indiana. A memorial service for Wix was held May 25, 2019, at Key Park in Lafayette, Tennessee. In September 2019 investigators secured arrest warrants and took two Indiana men into custody: Sevonte Sumpter-Bay, 20, of Brownsburg, and Derek Lucas, 21, of Jamestown; a juvenile male was also apprehended in connection with the murder and robbery.

If anyone has information about Justin Wix, his movements that week, or contacts between Scottsville and Indiana around May 2019, please share what is known.
