On the morning of Wednesday, June 7, 2017, Denver William Nicely III, 47, was found dead inside a home on Fred Nash Lane in Corbin, Kentucky. He and 28-year-old Joshua C. Wernicke of Keavy had both been fatally shot; Kentucky State Police were dispatched to the residence about 2:30 a.m. following a report of a possible shooting.

Authorities arrested 47-year-old Paul E. Parsons of Corbin and charged him with two counts of murder and one count of first-degree burglary; Parsons was lodged in the Whitley County jail. Nicely was born April 15, 1970, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was a father of four with two grandchildren. An autopsy was planned to determine the exact cause of death for both men as the investigation continued.

If anyone knew Denver, Joshua, or has information about the events that morning, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
