DAVIESS CO., Ky. (WFIE) - A murder trial is underway in Owensboro.
On Friday, the jury trial began for a man charged in a 2019 murder.
Police say that Damartez Thruston shot and killed Kevin White back in March of 2019.
Officials say they responded to a shots fired call on West 8th Street where they found White dead.
Police say Thruston was later arrested in Louisville after a tip was sent to Metro Police. That led to an indictment by a Daviess County grand jury in May of 2019.
We will update this story as the trial develops.
