On October 16, 1981, Jarvey Hamilton, 27, was fatally shot at the Mountain Auto-Truck Parts Store in Allen, Kentucky. The shooter was 70-year-old William Okie Bevins, a retired coal miner who entered the store with an automatic rifle and opened fire. The attack was aimed at another man present, Roger Click, after a personal dispute reportedly involving Click’s wife; Bevins also shot anyone who might identify him.

Four other men died in the massacre — Rufus Hamilton, Roger Hatfield, and Michael Halbert among them — and three others were wounded. Bevins fled briefly but was found at his home sitting on the porch and taken into custody; the weapon was reportedly disposed of in a well on his property. He first pleaded not guilty, then changed his plea to guilty after the first witness testified and was sentenced to death; that sentence was later commuted to life in prison. Bevins died in custody.

Did anyone in Allen at the time know Jarvey Hamilton or the other victims and have details about the store, the dispute, or what happened that day?
