Theresa L. Hughes was 18 when she was shot dead in the early hours of February 2, 2016, in La‑Center, Kentucky. A recent Ballard Memorial High School graduate who played softball and sang in choir, Hughes suffered a fatal gunshot wound after a shooting reported to the Ballard County Sheriff’s Office at about 3:00 a.m.

At a nearby location, 21‑year‑old Caitlin L. Houston was found with a gunshot wound to her leg and taken to a local hospital in stable condition. Investigators identified 22‑year‑old Shaquille Q. Edwards, then Houston’s boyfriend, as the suspect; he was located at the scene and taken into custody. Edwards was charged with murder in Hughes’s death, attempted murder for the shooting of Houston, kidnapping, and first‑degree burglary.

The motive has not been publicly released. Does anyone have information about Theresa, Caitlin, or that night that could help clarify what happened?
