Gary Wayne Medlin, 25, of Barbourville, Kentucky, was shot and killed during an attempted robbery at the A&B Quick Stop in Gray in the early morning hours of January 16, 2019.

Lewis fled on foot and was the subject of a multiagency manhunt. He was located in Flint, Michigan, and arrested on February 8, 2019, by a task force that included the Michigan State Police, U.S. Marshals, and the FBI. Lewis was extradited to Knox County, Kentucky, charged with murder and robbery, and in March 2020 pleaded guilty as part of an agreement recommending a 35-year sentence. A judge accepted the plea in July 2020 and sentenced Lewis to 35 years in prison.
