CUMBERLAND, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky State Police are looking for an eastern Kentucky man after the fatal shooting of a woman during a struggle.

A KSP news release early Tuesday said 37-year-old Christopher P. Smith was wanted on a murder charge after the death of 32-year-old Kimberly R. Ealy, also of Cumberland, Monday night.

Police said Smith was arguing with his girlfriend, Melissa Clark, when he and Ealy began struggling. Police said Smith discharged a firearm, killing Ealy.

Clark and a 13-year-old escaped.

The KSP said Smith was driving a 1997 black Ford F-150 pickup truck and is considered armed and dangerous.
