Kentucky State Police are working to confirm the identity of a body found near a site where a suspect opened fire on vehicles on Interstate 75 near Exit 49 nearly two weeks ago, injuring several people before fleeing into the woods and evading authorities.

“Kentucky State Police officers located a body near Exit 49 in Laurel County and detectives are working to confirm the identity,” Kentucky State Trooper Scotting Pennington said in a statement posted on X.

The update came after a couple near Exit 49 came across what appeared to be a dead body in the woods while livestreaming for the Hatfield McCoy Museum Adventures YouTube account.

“His condition is deteriorating!” a man can be heard saying as he makes the discovery.
