\nThe Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team has been requested by Post 16 Henderson to investigate an officer-involved shooting that occurred on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, around 10:48 p.m. CDT in Daviess County.<\/p>\n
The preliminary investigation indicates the Ohio County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on New Cut Road in Ohio County for a welfare check involving a possible domestic violence threat. Deputies made contact with 37 year-old Tracy Peace at her mother’s residence on New Cut Road in Whitesville. Pearce told deputies she was okay and did not anticipate any issues with her estranged husband.<\/p>\n
Later that day, Peace’s estranged husband, 30 year-old Jonathon Severs of Owensboro, arrived at the residence. The preliminary investigation indicates Severs shot a resident in the home and then placed Pearce in his vehicle and fled the scene.<\/p>\n
A short time later, Daviess County Sheriff’s Office deputies located Severs in the New Cut Road area, and a vehicle pursuit ensued. Near the 9700 block of Morgantown Road, Severs’ vehicle collided head-on with a Daviess County Sheriff’s patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n
Following the collision, gunfire was exchanged between Severs and Daviess County Sheriff’s deputies. Severs was struck by gunfire and pronounced deceased at the scene. Peace was also found deceased inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n
The Ohio County Sheriff Office is investigating the shooting that occurred at the New Cut Road residence. The victim was transported by air to University of Louisville Hospital and remains in critical condition.
