DaMycal Tre Bolton was 18 when he was shot dead in the early morning hours of a Sunday in October 2015. He was at an after-hours party in the parking lot of the Eagle Lake Convention Center in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, when multiple gunshots rang out at about 1:30 a.m. Kentucky State Police officers on a nearby traffic stop found Bolton unresponsive; he had been shot in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Anderson County Coroner.
The investigation resulted in multiple arrests. Months after the killing, four men—Kendall R. Berry, 28, William L. Edwards, 27, Antoine Q. James, 28, and Kenneth R. Berry, 23—were charged in connection with the murder; charges included complicity to murder, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and first-degree wanton endangerment. Video footage from the scene was reported to show Edwards firing a handgun toward a crowd. Two more suspects were later taken into custody, bringing the total charged to six: Kendall Berry, William Edwards, Antoine James, Kenneth Berry, Jordan Jackson, and Mathew Patterson Jr. Patterson, 18 at the time of his arrest, was charged with murder and first-degree wanton endangerment.
The case description depicts a chaotic scene with multiple people implicated in the events that led to Bolton’s death. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew DaMycal, please come forward with tips for investigators.
