Lilburn Scott Holbrook, 50, was shot and killed in Bronston, Kentucky, on July 6, 2017. He worked as a meat packer for Kroger and was a father; his death devastated the small community.

The shooting was part of a larger attack in which a man identified as Hall also assaulted two women with a machete at a Bronston-area residence. One person died and two others were seriously injured. Hall was arrested after the investigation; he initially claimed self-defense, later pleaded guilty, and in May of the following year was convicted and sentenced to 23 years in prison.

The motive for the rampage was not immediately clear at the time of the killings. Anyone with memories of Lilburn Holbrook or information about that July 2017 incident is asked to come forward.
