On the evening of January 17, 2019, an execution-style shooting at a home on Audubon Avenue in Owensboro, Kentucky, left three men dead and a woman critically injured. The victims were 18-year-old Christopher Dominick Carie, Jay Michael Sowders, 43, and Robert Smith Jr., 35. Sowders and Smith were pronounced dead at the scene. Carie was found in the basement and died after being taken to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Carmen Vanegas, 35 and later identified as Carie’s mother, was shot in the head and survived.

Police arrested two suspects the next day, Arnett Baines and Cylar Shemwell, and charged both with three counts of murder and first-degree assault. Detectives reported that the victims and the accused knew each other, though no definitive motive was released at the time. Subsequent court proceedings included a guilty plea by Baines and a 10-year sentence for Shemwell in July 2024; during sentencing a family member said Shemwell had brought Baines into the home before the shootings.

Does anyone have information about Christopher Carie, his movements that night, or the household on Audubon Avenue?
