Kentucky State Police are looking for a man they believe is connected to a fatal shooting at the home of a former state lawmaker this week.

Sgt. Robert Purdy said police received a tip Tuesday night that led investigators to 23-year-old Shannon V. Gilday of Taylor Mill in northern Kentucky.

Purdy announced Thursday that Gilday is charged in a warrant with murder, attempted murder and other charges.

Police asked for the public's help in locating Gilday, who is believed to be driving a white 2016 Toyota Corolla with license plate 379-VMJ.

He is accused of forcing his way inside the Richmond home of former state Rep. Wesley Morgan early Tuesday and fatally shooting Morgan's daughter.
