Donald Freels, 23, of Evansville, Indiana, was found dead near Ellis Park in Henderson, Kentucky, on November 11, 2017. Authorities determined he had been shot multiple times; those gunshot wounds were the cause of death.
Investigators say the killing began after Freels arranged to meet for a drug transaction. A dispute during that encounter escalated into violence. Freels’ body was moved from the scene of the shooting and left near the racetrack in Henderson.
Three people were arrested in connection with the case: Zachary Hunter, Leroy Hunter, and Carolyn Butler. Butler is reported to have arranged the drug deal that brought the parties together, and all three later entered plea agreements.
Did anyone in the Henderson or Evansville area know Freels or have information about the meeting that led to his death?
