A neighborhood dispute on Greenleaf Drive in Lexington, Kentucky, turned deadly on the afternoon of July 31, 2017. Neighbors reported hearing a loud boom; officers responding to a fight with a weapon found 29-year-old Austin T. Murphy outside a home with a fatal shotgun wound.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect. Curtis Flora, 65, who lived on the same street, told detectives he was the shooter and admitted to involvement in an ongoing dispute with Murphy, who often visited his girlfriend’s house across the street. Witnesses reported seeing Flora with the gun; he was arrested and charged with murder and a not guilty plea was entered at a court appearance.

Friends and family held a vigil for Murphy, remembered as a father and a man whose smile could brighten anyone’s day. Does anyone who lived on Greenleaf Drive in 2017 have information about the dispute or what led up to that afternoon?
