In the rural outskirts of Bullitt County, Kentucky, a violent encounter on Cow Branch Road tragically cut short the life of 41-year-old Donald Hagan of Louisville. On a Saturday morning, Hagan was shot in an incident that remains shrouded in mystery.
Following the shooting, a female driver transported a gravely wounded Hagan in a desperate attempt to find medical help.
Their journey ended at Jerry's Drive Inn Liquors, located at the intersection of Highway 44 and Dixie Highway in the small community of West Point.
