Kilgore left his vehicle, wallet, keys, and other possessions at his residence before fleeing. Investigators believed he left his residence with only a handgun, his dog, and a bicycle. A helicopter and drones were put into service in northern Hopkins County since Friday in an attempt to locate Kilgore. The US Marshals were monitoring Kilgore’s finances in case he was at-large.

Kilgore was also wanted on a previous warrant for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
