Kentucky State Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting in Kenton County that left a man dead, according to a statement from KSP issued Monday, June 21.
KSP said the victim was a Crestview Hills man. The agency did not immediately provide additional identifying details in the initial report.
The shooting prompted an investigation by Kentucky State Police, which said the inquiry is ongoing. Investigators have not, in the initial public information, released the circumstances leading to the encounter or the specific location in Kenton County beyond the county itself.

The agency did not release information on whether any charges are expected, whether other agencies are involved in the investigation, or whether the officer involved would face administrative action while the investigative process continues.

As of Monday night, KSP indicated it would not close the matter publicly because the investigation remains active, and it urged the public to rely on updates from official channels for further information.
