Jimmy L. Vanover, 34, was shot dead inside a home on High Point Road in Lee County on Saturday, November 18, 2017. Kentucky State Police from the Richmond Post arrived shortly before 10:30 a.m. and found Vanover’s body; the Lee County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene and his body was sent to the State Medical Examiner’s office for autopsy.

The shooting followed a violent altercation that involved another male and escalated to gunfire. Officers located the alleged shooter at the residence when they arrived, but no charges were filed immediately afterward. Detective Austin Brashear of Post 7 led an ongoing death investigation assisted by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the Beattyville Police Department, and the coroner’s office.

Does anyone have information about what led to that confrontation or about the subsequent investigation?
