Hopkinsville police have made an arrest after a man was found shot to death Thursday night on Clearman Court and the murder is connected to the murder investigation on Cerulean Road in Trigg County.
Hopkinsville police arrested 49-year old Bobby Spikes of Hopkinsville for murder, alleging he and his girlfriend lured 35-year old Stanley Bussell of Hopkinsville to a home on Clearman Court, where Spikes then fatally shot Bussell in the head.
Police say Bussell was a co-worker of Spikes’ girlfriend.
Spikes was arrested about 12:30 a.m. Friday and lodged in the Christian County Jail, but the shooting is believed to have happened sometime after midnight Thursday morning.
Sgt. Tony Sierra says Kentucky State Police discovered the shooting scene on Clearman at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday as detectives investigated the killing of 34-year old Candace Marcel of Hopkinsville, whose body was found by a Trigg County deputy Thursday morning in a vehicle belonging to Bussell on Cerulean Road between Wallonia Road and Guinn Road in Trigg County.
KSP says they are working closely with HPD to investigate the deaths that are closely related.
