#5 The Murder of Blake Crews

Blake Crews, 20, was excited to start a business teaching drums. He spent much of his last day alive trying to print business cards for the new business. Blake never had the chance to live out his dream, though; he died after he was shot multiple times in the face while staying at a friend’s house in Henderson, Kentucky in January, 2015.

The case remains unsolved to this day.
