Fatal Shooting In Floyd County
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky State Police report 29 year old Michael Whitaker was fatally shot Tuesday morning in Hueysville, and his uncle, Russell Neeley, is charged with tampering with evidence and being a felon in possession of a handgun. Police say Whitaker was found dead on Coolwater Creek in Floyd County, and they believe the two had an altercation prior to the shooting. Whitaker's body was sent to the state medical examiner's office in Frankfort for autopsy, which is hoped to determine whether the shooting happened in self-defense. Meanwhile, Neeley is being held in the Floyd County Detention Center on $1 million cash bond.
