A Totz man was killed as a result of a shooting Saturday morning, with the alleged shooter fleeing to Washington County, Tenn., before his arrest.

Richard G. Cody, 59, of Harlan, was arrested by Kentucky State Police troopers on Feb. 15.

According to a KSP press release, dispatch received a call at 8:50 a.m. on Saturday of a shooting at a residence near Shope Lane in Harlan. Matthew Smith, 39, was shot and transported to Harlan ARH where he was pronounced dead.
