FLORENCE, Ky. — The Florence community continued to mourn after the July 6 mass shooting, in which Florence Police said 21-year-old Chase Garvey shot and killed four people, injuring three others, before fatally shooting himself. 

Some gathered at Erpenbeck Elementary School for counseling services and to grieve the lives of the four people taken during the early morning hours of July 6.

Police identified the victims as Melissa Parrett, Shane Miller, Hayden Rybicki and Delaney Eary. Police said they were all shot and killed by Garvey at a birthday party for which he did not receive an invitation. 

Records show Garvey was indicted in 2021 for the rape of a 13-year-old girl. He was sentenced to five years' probation after the charges were downgraded to "Unlawful transaction with a minor" in the second degree, a Class D felony in Kentucky.

In a 2022 filing offering the plea deal, the Commonwealth Attorney said the reason for the amended charges was "the facts of the case and the best interest for the victim." 

Spectrum News 1 called and emailed Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders for comment, which he has not yet returned.

Garvey's state supervision was expected to end in Aug. 2027. 

Records show his probation officer asked a judge to revoke his probation in spring 2023 after Garvey was arrested for wanton endangerment and reckless driving for allegedly doing donuts and burnouts in various parking lots with a 13-year-old male passenger in his vehicle. 

The judge ordered him to spend 30 days in the Kenton County Jail. 

Police said Garvey died July 6 after fatally shooting himself during a police chase that started when he tried to get away from the birthday party where he shot seven people.

It is illegal for convicted felons to possess a firearm in Kentucky, with rare exceptions. Florence Police did not answer questions Monday about the gun used in this tragedy as they continue to investigate.
