Cawthorn is the second of the victims to die as a result of the shooting. Mark Boguszewski, 27, of Jefferson County, was found dead by authorities when they arrived at the scene at approximately 2:30 a.m. that morning. The identity of the third victim has not be released.

According to Sgt. Scott Harvey of the Nicholasville Police Department, the party at which the shootings occurred was attended by approximately 50 people. This has led to frustration from authorities, who say that everyone questioned at the scene denied seeing anything or having information to offer.

“We understand that coming forward with information can be a little unnerving. So, with that in mind, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Nicholasville Police Department have pooled resources and are able to offer a $5,000 reward to anyone who has information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the shooter in this case,” Sgt. Harvey stated in a release from the NPD.

The Nicholasville Police Department asks that anyone with any information about the incident call 859-885-9467.
