In late summer 2021, the body of 20-year-old Regginald Dawayne Johnson of Lexington was found in a wooded area off Sinking Creek Road in Laurel County, Kentucky. A passerby discovered the scene and contacted authorities, and the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office opened a murder investigation.

An autopsy confirmed Johnson died of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators appealed to the public for information, but no details about suspects or arrests have been released. The case remains under investigation as the community and his family seek answers.

If anyone has information about Johnson, his movements that summer, or the area around Sinking Creek Road, please contact the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office.
