George Black Jr., 28, was shot to death in Morganfield, Kentucky, on the afternoon of Friday, January 20, 2017. The shooting occurred around 4 p.m. inside a residence at 625-B West O’Bannon Street. Black and 33-year-old Caesarrae Rapier were in the living room when gunfire erupted; both men were shot multiple times. Rapier’s wife, who was in a bathroom at the time, said she heard the shots and then saw a man with dreadlocks pointing a gun before that man turned and shot Rapier in the back of the head while he lay on the floor.

Several suspects were identified and arrested after a vehicle matching the wife’s description was spotted in Henderson. A red car with Illinois plates was found abandoned at South Heights Elementary School; Clarence L. Smith III, 21, and Joevionte C. Sims, 22, were captured near the school playground. A gun was visible in the vehicle and a fired casing was later found in Sims’ shoe during booking. Keyontea McGuire of Morganfield was also apprehended and charged with murder.

In September 2018 a Union County grand jury indicted Breshod Everhart on two counts of murder by complicity; prosecutors said physical evidence linked him to the shootings and that some suspects told investigators they had gone to the residence to buy marijuana when the shooting started.

Did anyone in Morganfield know George or have information about what led to that evening at 625-B West O’Bannon Street?
