Denton Jerome DJ Bixler, 27, was found with a gunshot wound on a street in Frankfort, Kentucky, on a Monday in March 2017 and later died at Frankfort Regional Medical Center. He was a father of two, a nephew and brother, noted for an interest in classic cars and hot rods and remembered by family as kind and devoted to his children.

Officers located 54-year-old John G. Tabor hiding behind a nearby residence with a handgun. After about 30 minutes of negotiation Tabor surrendered and was taken into custody; he was booked into the Franklin County Regional Jail and was charged with Bixler’s murder. Reports say Tabor is the grandfather of Bixler’s two sons and that he admitted to the shooting.

Family and community reactions emphasized the loss of a devoted father. Does anyone who knew Denton or was in Frankfort in March 2017 have information that could help clarify what happened that day?
