A late-night confrontation at a home on Kentucky Highway 92 West in Monticello turned fatal on March 23, 2019. Jason Kay Dishman, 36, was shot during the altercation and was transported to Wayne County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 7 p.m.

Kentucky State Police led the investigation and developed evidence indicating Dishman sustained gunshot wounds during a direct confrontation with 28-year-old Jason Tyler Phillips. A grand jury later returned an indictment charging Phillips with Dishman’s murder. Dishman was born August 1, 1982, to Karen Dishman and the late Junior Kay Bill George Dishman.
