The Madison County Coroner says 77-year-old Margie Berry was found dead in a home on Leslie Drive in Berea Saturday night.<\/p>\n
A caller advised Dispatch she was on the phone with Berry when she heard a loud noise, and the resident stopped responding.<\/p>\n
The caller stated she did not know what had happened other than she might have fallen.<\/p>\n
Berea police say units arrived on scene and observed an open door to the residence. When they entered the home, they found Margie Berry, who had suffered a fatal gunshot wound.<\/p>\n
The Whitley County Sheriff\u2019s Office said the suspect is Kevin Berry.<\/p>\n
Berea Police confirmed Berry is Margie\u2019s son.<\/p>\n
Williamsburg Assistant Chief of Police Brandon White said around 10 a.m. on Sunday, Kentucky State Police asked officers to keep an eye out for a car tied to the Berea homicide. Troopers said it was traveling from Tennessee into Kentucky.<\/p>\n
White said he spotted the car heading north on I-75 in Williamsburg and followed it. The car started to pull into the shoulder, which is when White said he turned on his lights and sirens.<\/p>\n
According to White, the car continued into a grassy area before rolling into a rock wall, where it came to a stop.<\/p>\n
White said he gave several commands to the driver but received no response and saw no movement inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Eventually, officers used a drone to see inside the car. That is when they determined it was safe to approach it.<\/p>\n
The Whitley County Coroner confirmed Kevin Berry was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, just after noon<\/p>\n
I-75 in Whitley County was shut down in both directions for roughly an hour and a half until police determined there was no threat to the public.<\/p>\n
The Laurel County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed Kevin Berry is a former Deputy who left the agency in 2020 to pursue another career path.
