Corbin Man Indicted In Group Home Murder

• {Kentucky}...Tyler Brock, 21, of Corbin, was indicted Friday on a murder charge in the June 12th death of Shawn Akridge, 35, who was beaten and kicked at a group home near Paint Lick in Garrard County. Kentucky State Police say Brock was an employee at the home operated by Community Ties of America, a company based in Brentwood, Tennessee. Brock initially told police that another resident in the home, Chester Watkins, 32, had choked Akridge in the bathroom of the group home that at the time housed three residents, and Watkins was charged with murder. But, an autopsy revealed Akridge died of internal bleeding, not strangulation, prompting police to question Brock's story. Brock is also charged with knowingly abusing an adult. Brock is scheduled to be arraigned August 18th.
