Two people are dead, another is in the hospital, and authorities are on the lookout for a suspect in Pulaski County.
The sheriff’s office says they responded Tuesday night to a call about a shooting on Raleigh Road in the Science Hill area.
Ardyth Prather Jr., age 67, was found dead from apparent gunshot wounds. His wife, 65-year-old Joann Prather, had been shot and stabbed but was still alive. She was taken to a hospital in Lexington.
While at the scene, authorities noticed blood on the door of a neighboring house. When they checked it out, authorities found 43-year-old Ardyth Prather III dead inside.
The sheriff’s office says the suspect has been identified as 20-year-old Austin Prather, who they say is the son/grandson of the victims.
Sheriff Bobby Jones said there is no known motive at this time.
He is believed to be driving a 2013 brown Jeep Wrangler and is considered armed and dangerous. The sheriff’s office says people have reported seeing him in various places and he is begging for money.
Officials are asking if you see him to call 911 but do not approach him.
