Montgomery
Colin J. Montgomery, 30, was arrested March 7, 2018, on a murder charge following the shooting death of his wife, Jennifer Montgomery, 27, outside of the couple’s home on Shakertown Road on the evening of March 6.
The trial is scheduled for Boyle County Circuit Court, Aug. 26 through Aug. 29.
On the night of the shooting, Boyle County sheriff’s deputies found Montgomery holding a phone and multiple firearms according to the Advocate-Messenger archives.
He allegedly shot his wife because he believed she was having an affair. A Kentucky State Police trooper said children were in the home at the time of the shooting.
On Dec. 12, a judge ordered that Montgomery was found to be competent to stand trial for the murder charge.
Montgomery has been lodged in the Boyle County Detention Center since last year. He is being held on a $500,000 cash bond.
