Deputy Caleb Conley, 35, was killed in Georgetown, Kentucky, in a late-afternoon traffic stop on Interstate 75 in May. Conley, a U.S. Army veteran who had served about four years with the Scott County Sheriff’s Office, was struck after the driver, identified as Steven Sheangshang, opened fire as Conley approached the vehicle. Conley was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds.

After the shooting the suspect fled, forced entry into a nearby home and stole that household’s vehicle, then drove to Lexington where he shot another man and carjacked a second vehicle. Law enforcement tracked a stolen car to a Lexington residence and arrested 47-year-old Steven Sheangshang; officers found a handgun and spent shell casings in a trash can at the location. Sheangshang later pleaded guilty to 14 felony counts, including the murder of a police officer, and received life without parole.
