UMVA has learned that a chilling hunt has begun across state lines as investigators pursue a fugitive believed to have committed a deadly shooting in Pickett County.
On Wednesday, a 38‑year‑old man allegedly fired a single shot into the chest of an unknown victim, leaving him mortally wounded before fleeing in a black pickup truck with a yellow hood. The vehicle vanished into the night, sparking a frantic search that now spans Kentucky and Tennessee.
Sheriff’s deputies in Clinton County discovered the suspect’s truck abandoned at a residence on Norman Cole Road in Albany. The find has reignited a race against time to locate the man before he can evade justice.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the suspect is described as a white male, 5'10" tall, weighing roughly 225 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. These details paint a stark picture of a man who has slipped through the cracks of law enforcement.
The investigation, still in its early stages, has been described by authorities as active and ongoing. They urge the public to exercise extreme caution and to avoid any direct contact with the suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous.
In a tense atmosphere, law‑enforcement officials are calling on anyone with information to contact emergency services immediately. The hunt for this elusive killer continues, with every moment ticking closer to a resolution that could bring closure to a grieving community.
