The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team is investigating after a trooper fatally shot a man in Harrison County on Sunday.
The investigation has so far shown that when troopers responded to a domestic disturbance at approximately 11:00 Sunday night in Cynthiana, the suspect, 50-year-old Ramon Morales, had left the scene in a Chevrolet van.
“Shortly after, it was reported that a vehicle matching the description of Mr. Morales’ had crashed into another car on KY-36 and was leaving the scene of that collision,” according to state police.
Later that evening, a trooper located Morales standing on the shoulder of the roadway in front of the residence where the earlier disturbance occurred. During the interaction with Morales, the trooper shot the suspect.
Morales was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
The investigation is ongoing.
