In the early morning hours of Sunday, March 30, 2025, Berry Rainer Rose III, 46, was found dead outside a residence on Cart Bell Ridge Road in the Parnell area of Wayne County. He sustained an apparent gunshot wound, and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance from the Kentucky State Police after observing signs of foul play. Rose was an Albany, Kentucky resident who worked in the heating and cooling industry, was born May 25, 1978, in North Carolina, and was of the Christian faith.

He is survived by his sister Jennifer Heist and several nieces, nephews and other relatives. The Kentucky State Police Post 11 took over the investigation, and Norman E. McGuire, 60, of Monticello, was arrested and charged in connection with Rose’s murder and lodged in the Wayne County Detention Center.

Does anyone in the Parnell or Monticello area have information about Rose’s movements that morning?
