Kentucky State Police has released the identities of the first three bodies found on an Ohio County property late Wednesday afternoon.

State police said Ohio County Coroner Elvis Doolin reported the three victims are 20-year-old Hunter L. Owings, of Centertown, and 44-year-old Nora J. Owings and 66-year-old Calvin Leisure Jr., both of Beaver Dam. All three had been shot to death.

Police previously said it was probable the victims were related, and according to Nora J. Owings’ obituary, Leisure Jr. was her father and Hunter L. Owings was her son.

All three decedents were found deceased at approximately 4:30 Wednesday afternoon outside a residence in the 5700 block of Hwy 62 west, near McHenry. A fourth body was found in an apartment that was in a burned detached building adjacent to the residence. The building was fully engulfed in flames when law enforcement initially arrived on scene.

Law enforcement is not looking for a perpetrator, Kentucky State Police Post 16 spokesman Corey King said, and there is no danger to the community.

The site of the incident is a chicken farm that contracts with Tyson.

Kentucky State Police detectives continue to investigate.
