Kentucky State Police is leading the investigation into the death of 32-year-old Jordan Morgan, daughter of former state representative C. Wesley Morgan, 71, who was injured in the Tuesday morning assault.

The home invasion occurred Tuesday morning at approximately 4:30 at the Morgans’ residence on Willis Branch Road in Richmond. Kentucky State Police said the intruders, and apparently C.
