Responding officers found 42-year-old William Michael Haskins deceased on a trail between two homes on Kirk Court with multiple gunshot wounds. The Fayette County Coroner pronounced Haskins dead at the scene and the death was ruled a homicide; shell casings were found scattered around his body. An autopsy was performed at the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Frankfort.

In the days after the shooting investigators processed the scene and sought public assistance, but released few details about what led to the killing. No suspects have been publicly named and no arrests announced. If anyone has information about Haskins, his movements that evening, or the shooting on Kirk Court, please come forward.
