Police: Fatal shooting at Shively Animal Clinic may have been self-defense

Authorities have confirmed the victim's identity in Sunday's shooting but also clarified misinformation circulating on social media.

SHIVELY, Ky. — Shively Police has released new details surrounding a shooting at an animal clinic that left a man dead Sunday. 

Police were originally called to the Shively Animal Clinic around 6:30 p.m. for a possible fight. That was later upgraded to a shooting. 

When officers arrived at the scene, they found Trent L. Taylor, 21, had been shot.

Taylor was transported to the hospital where he later died.

While the investigation is in its early stages, police said there is the "potential for a self-defense claim" and that there will not be any arrests at the moment.

"Once the investigation is complete, the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office will be consulted regarding any potential prosecution," police said.

Police added social media has been spreading misinformation and accused a woman named "Jayme Bond" as being the suspected shooter.

Shively Police confirmed Bond "is in no way involved in this incident" and reiterated all parties have been accounted for.

The suspect has not yet been identified.
