On the evening of November 7, 2017, 16-year-old George Rogers Clark High School student Kayla Holland was killed in a shooting in the parking lot of the Washington Street Apartments in Winchester, Kentucky. Holland and a friend, 16-year-old Adrianna Castro, were visiting friends when a gunfight erupted and both girls were struck; Holland died at the scene and Castro later died at Clark Regional Medical Center. The two teenagers were not believed to have been the intended targets.

Police said the violence followed a verbal altercation earlier that day. Within a day investigators arrested several people: Mikaela Buford, 18, Denzel Hill, 24, Darian Skinner, 22, and Ronnie Ellis, 18, were taken into custody and initially charged with complicity to murder; additional charges were later brought against others, including Matthew Carmen and Julia Richardson. Multiple people faced charges ranging from murder and complicity to murder to wanton endangerment and tampering with evidence.
