A man was shot and killed Monday morning in Rowan County.

Rowan County Coroner John Northcutt identified the victim as Kenneth Fulton, 42. Northcutt said Fulton was taken to St. Claire Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead around 1:15 a.m.

The victim was shot on Leaning Tree Lane, west of Morehead, where he lived, Northcutt said.

KSP charged Randy Parmley with murder. WKYT obtained a copy of the suspect's arrest citation. According to the document, Parmley went to the house to confront his wife about why she was at Fulton's house. The two men began fighting and Parmley shot Fulton twice, according to the arrest citation. Parmley claimed the victim threatened his life.

Parmley showed up to the Kentucky State Police post and turned himself in to authorities.

"Doesn't happen very often," said Sergeant Brian Evans with Kentucky State Police. "A lot of times, maybe two or three days later, people will turn themselves in, but normally they're not the first to call in and give a description of the incident that has occurred at the time."

Kentucky State Police arrested and charged Parmley with murder. He is in the Rowan County Detention Center.
