On a September morning in 2019, Timothy Shawn Profitt, 41, was found unresponsive in the basement of his Whitesburg, Kentucky, home on Cane Hollow Road and pronounced dead from a single gunshot wound. Emergency services were called, but he could not be revived.

Authorities arrested his brother, 44-year-old Eddie Ryan Profitt, the same day. Both men lived at the same address. A witness at the scene identified Eddie as the person responsible, and prosecutors charged him with murder and tampering with evidence. Reports say Eddie admitted to shooting his brother; a clear motive was not released.

A grand jury later indicted Eddie, and he was lodged in the Letcher County Jail. Does anyone have information about Timothy, the household, or the events that morning?
