2 dead following shooting in Oak Grove

Yahoo13-04-2025
OAK GROVE, Ky. (WKRN) — A 911 hang-up call in Oak Grove early Sunday morning reportedly led to the discovery of a body and negotiation attempts with an armed person who later died.
According to the Oak Grove Police Department, dispatchers received a 911 call around 2 a.m. on Sunday, April 13, but the caller didn't provide any information, so law enforcement had to ping the phone's location.
After the call was traced to a home along Arkansas Avenue, police said they responded to the address to check on the occupants. When officers arrived at the scene, they reportedly heard a gunshot and found a dead person just inside the home.

Authorities said a second individual, who was armed and had gunshot wounds, was barricaded in a back room. Law enforcement tried to negotiate with this person, but they were unsuccessful.
'When additional units from the Christian County Sheriff's Office and Hopkinsville Police arrived, Oak Grove Officers entered the home and conducted a search, ultimately finding the shooter deceased from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound,' Oak Grove officials wrote on social media.
In their 10:44 a.m. Facebook post, police said they were withholding the names of those involved pending the notification of next of kin. However, WKDZ Radio reported that authorities identified the man they found shot when they arrived as 27-year-old Gage Gilbert and the man they found after entering the home as 35-year-old Michael Johnson.

Idaho murder case highlights limits of victims' input in plea bargains

Judges can reject plea agreements in Idaho, but it is a rare occurrence. The judge in Kohberger's case previously denied a defense attorney motion to remove the death penalty from consideration that had argued Kohberger's autism diagnosis made him less culpable. The right to confer covers a broad range of communication with prosecutors, but largely means being kept informed and participating as a case proceeds. That can mean having conversations before a bail hearing to propose conditions of a defendant being released that increase a victim's feeling of safety, or strategizing victim impact statements before sentencing. It does not mean that victims or their families get the final say in how prosecutors try a case or whether they can offer or approve a plea agreement. There is no appeals process for victims or families who disagree with a prosecutor's decision, but that doesn't mean there isn't recourse if a victim believes their rights have been violated. Garvin said not providing an opportunity for meaningful victim input can lead to courts reconsidering sentences or overturning outcomes and holding new hearings. She cited the recent case of Adnan Syed in Maryland, whose murder conviction had been vacated in 2022 after Baltimore prosecutors said they had uncovered issues with the initial prosecution. The victim's family later succeeded in getting the conviction reinstated after challenging the ruling on procedural grounds, arguing they didn't receive proper notice to attend the hearing that freed Syed from prison — a victims' rights violation. In the letter sent to the families of the Idaho victims Monday, prosecutors wrote, 'Your viewpoints weighed heavily in our decision-making process, and we hope that you may come to appreciate why we believe this resolution is in the best interest of justice.' Goncalves' family wrote in Facebook posts that family members had spoken to prosecutors multiple times from Friday to Monday to register their objections to a plea and explain their views about pushing for a conviction at trial and the death penalty. The statement said the Friday discussions were vague, and that the whole process moved incredibly fast despite nearly two years of preparations and waiting for a trial that had been scheduled to start in August.

Car found underwater at Long Island beach with human remains inside may be linked to 15-year-old missing persons case

A dive team found human remains inside a barnacle-covered car underwater at a Long Island beach — a discovery they think may be linked to a 15-year-old missing persons case. Dan Pritchard and his diving partner Bill McIntosh — who travel the world looking for missing people — found the remains inside a submerged Chrysler PT Cruiser at Cedar Beach in Mt. Sinai on Monday, prompting an investigation by Suffolk County Police. The pair believe the remains are Long Island native Robert Long, who went missing in December 2010 at the age of 62 while on a run to a local liquor store in a vehicle that fits the same description.

Facebook 'It's obviously a great relief when you identify the vehicle that you're looking for,' Pritchard told local radio station 1010 Wins. 'It is satisfying to know that we can give — hard as the answers are — to the family.' The pair used kayaks equipped with special side-scan sonar devices that helped look underwater, with McIntosh telling the outlet they had four locations to check and Cedar Beach just happened to be first on the list. Advertisement After several hours searching for Long, the pair found what appeared to be human bones in the car — immediately calling police, who conducted their own diving search. They later lifted the vehicle out of the water with a crane after confirming the human remains, according to police. 3 The pair found what appeared to be human bones in the sunken car. News 12 LI 'We started this morning with the Marine Bureau divers going into the water at low tide,' Suffolk police said. 'They examined the interior of the vehicle and tried to recover whatever they could from within the vehicle.' The remains have yet to be identified, and the Suffolk County Medical Examiner will determine the identity of the remains and perform an autopsy to determine a cause of death, the department said. Advertisement 'There is a missing person who we suspect this driver to be,' Detective Lt. Kevin Beyrer said Tuesday afternoon. 'We made a courtesy notification to the family, but we have not definitively made any sort of identification.' 3 Human remains found in sunken car by volunteer divers searching for Long Island man missing for 15 years. Please Help Find Bob Long Pritchard and McIntosh plan on spending the next few months scouring waterways up and down the East Coast in search of sunken vehicles — including several on Long Island. They believe the search could recover the remains of up to 50 missing people. Advertisement The discovery at Cedar Beach marked the third vehicle they've pulled up during this trip, and the 16th for McIntosh since he first got involved in 2020, the divers said. 'When you find a person, you bring them home and you're able to close a chapter in another person's life, a family's life,' McIntosh told Newsday. 'We give them hope.'
