At Rest

Suicide
Kentucky State Police had been seeking Matthew Dale Grider, 34, who allegedly exchanged fire with the KSP Drug Enforcement Unit when a trooper attempted to execute a search warrant on him. Police received a tip that Grider had been seen in the area of Curtis Road in rural Boyle County. Police began tracking Grider in that area. The search led them to a barn in a field where Grider was spotted as he left on foot out the rear of the barn. After a lengthy pursuit, Grider pulled a gun and fatally shot himself.
This record exists so that Matthew Dale Grider, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
