Third Person Arrested In Pike County Murder Investigation

A third person has been arrested in connection with the death of a man at Steele in Pike County last weekend.

As we reported earlier this week, Michael Brown and Anthony Browning were each arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of Christopher Lester on January 11.

Kentucky State Police announced yesterday that Michael Shortridge has also been arrested and charged with murder, claiming in a statement that he saw Brown shoot Lester and alleging that Brown forced him to shoot Lester once as well.
