Jackie Rose, 61, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Tuesday, September 1, 2015, on a rural stretch of Chestnut Flat Road near his home in Sand Gap, Jackson County, Kentucky. Neighbors described him as a hardworking, honest man; he was found deceased by Kentucky State Police shortly before 1 p.m. with a fatal gunshot wound after an altercation with another man.

Police identified and detained the other man at the scene and questioned him as the alleged shooter, but no charges were filed in the days following the incident. The Kentucky State Police said their investigation was ongoing and that findings would be presented to the Commonwealth’s Attorney for a charging decision.

Rose was survived by his wife, five children, and numerous grandchildren. Does anyone in the Sand Gap area have information about the events on Chestnut Flat Road that afternoon?
