On May 9, 2014, 21-year-old Donesha Marie McStoots was found near the Knob Creek Gun Range in Bullitt County, Kentucky, after having been shot twice and subjected to a corrosive substance. The owner of the range discovered her and took her to Southwest Hospital, where she lost consciousness en route and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. McStoots was from Hardin County and had been living in Louisville.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Deandre McElroy as a suspect within days. DNA recovered from McStoots’s body matched McElroy, and cell phone records were reported to place his phone at the scene around the time of the attack. An arrest warrant for McElroy was issued in late May 2015, and he was taken into custody on charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence.

In June 2015 a Bullitt County judge dismissed the murder case for lack of probable cause, finding the cell phone evidence insufficient and noting arguments that a prior relationship could explain the DNA. McStoots’s family was left devastated; authorities said the investigation would continue. Did anyone in the area know Donesha or have information about her movements that day?
