FLOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WMDJ) – Authorities arrested a Louisville man wanted for the murder of a man Sunday night in Floyd County.

Officials found Michael Colley, 41, at a home in McDowell yesterday evening after he prompted a manhunt by Kentucky State Police and other agencies in the killing of 53-year-old Patrick Shepherd of McDowell.

Shepherd was the live-in boyfriend of Colley’s mother, who passed away a few months ago.

Colley is accused of beating Shepherd to death Sunday night, then fleeing from the scene early yesterday morning.

He is currently being held in the Floyd County Detention Center.
