Robert Cowan was outside the King Cobra Motorcycle Club when police say he was shot in the head. They say some sort of fight led up to the shooting, but there’s no clue as to who fired the gun.

When officers arrived at the scene, they said there were many people around trying to help save Cowan.

“We don’t know all the details. We know very little about this man’s murder, and so we do need people to come forward that may have been there that night or have heard something,” said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.

Police say that Cowan was not a member of the King Cobra Club and he was not armed.

“Not only do we need answers as far as who was responsible for this, but also the family, I think, it’s important to have some closure for them to at least know what happened to their loved one,” said Detective Thomas.

Detectives say they know many people might be afraid to talk, but they hope that someone will come forward.

“This man died.  This is not something a simple as felony crime or misdemeanor crime, this something that’s a lot more significant. A man’s life was taken,” said Thomas.

If you have any information on what happened to Cowan, your tip could get you a cash reward from the Bluegrass Crime Stoppers. You can call in your tip at (859) 253-2020 or text your information to ‘CRIMES’ just put ‘LEX P-D’ in the message, along with your tip.
