Multiple law enforcement agencies continue to search for a Breckinridge County man suspected of shooting a deputy after a domestic incident.
The Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office and the Kentucky State Police are searching for a suspect identified as Julio Morales Ceballos, who goes by Julio Morales, of Hardinsburg. The KSP says Morales is a 53-year-old male with gray hair and brown eyes. He is 5 feet, eight inches tall and weighs 186 pounds. Morales was last seen wearing dark clothes and is considered armed and dangerous.
According to the KSP, the Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office requested KSP Post Four’s assistance in the investigation of a shooting that occurred north of Hardinsburg at around 6 p.m. central Saturday. The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates two BCSO deputies responded to a domestic incident call at a residence near the 2100 block of KY 2779. As the deputies arrived at the residence, the suspect, later identified as Morales, fired and struck two police cruisers. One of the deputies was struck and received non-life-threatening injuries.
Morales, still believed to be armed, fled from the residence into an adjacent wooded area. The KSP and the sheriff’s office continue to search for Morales in the Hardinsburg area via drones and the KSP Aviation Branch.
A warrant for Morales’s arrest on charges of Attempted Murder of a Peace Officer, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, Assault, and Domestic Violence has been issued. If you see Morales, do not approach him. Report your information to the Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office at 270-256-2361 or KSP Post Four at 270-766-5078.
