ARMED AND DANGEROUS: Taylor Mill man wanted for murder; still on the run

A Northern Kentucky man is suspected of murdering a former assistant Commonwealth's Attorney for Boone and Gallatin counties during a home invasion near Richmond, Kentucky.

Shannon Gilday, 23, of Taylor Mill, Kentucky, has an active warrant out for his arrest for the murder of 32-year-old Jordan Morgan, Kentucky State Police announced Thursday.

Once inside, police said, he shot and killed Morgan's daughter, Jordan Morgan, 32, while she was asleep. The Madison County Coroner's Office later confirmed that Jordan Morgan had been shot 'more than once'.

20 Cincinnati-Style Chili Parlors You Should Have Tried By Now

The list includes four restaurants in Northern Kentucky and the usual well-known chain chili parlors:
Pepper Pod, Newport:
Greasy spoon dining at its best, the Pepper Pod is a Newport legend. Grab a 3-, 4- or 5-Way or something off their all-day breakfast menu.

Bard's Burgers & Chili, Latonia:
Calling themselves "the dive that's worth the drive," Bard's has been featured on local news and on the Food Network for its giant Bardzilla food challenge and flash-fried cheese curds.

Gourmet Chili, Newport:
This unassuming chili spot tucked away on Newport's Monmouth Street serves up all-day breakfast, burgers, gyros and, of course, Cincinnati-style chili.

Empress Chili, Alexandria:
In addition to the usual crop of double-decker sandwiches and ways, Empress offers some zany takes on old favorites: individual chili pizzas with cheesy, saucy fare on dough and the tough-to-pronounce “spagoney,” which swaps out hot dogs for noodles.

Dixie Chili:
With a location in Newport, another in Covington and one in Erlanger, Dixie Chili has become an integral part of Northern Kentucky culture
