Kentucky State Police said their investigation alleges Shannon Gilday, who is from Taylor Mill, Kentucky, forced his way into a home Tuesday on Willis Branch Road in Madison County at around 4 a.m. armed with a rifle.
Police said once he was inside, he shot and killed Morgan while she was in bed.
Police then say Gilday allegedly confronted the homeowner, when gunshots were exchanged between the two.

The homeowner suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and Gilday left the scene in a white car.
Former state Rep. Wesley Morgan owns the home, according to the Madison County property valuation administrator’s office.
Morgan told the Lexington Herald Leader that his daughter was killed.
Morgan served one term as a state representative for Richmond and Berea in Madison County.
Jordan was a graduate of Chase College of Law and worked at the Boone/Gallatin county’s commonwealth attorney's office in 2018.
Shannon's mother, Katie Gilday, said that she is saddened for the Morgan family's loss. She said her son has "not been of sound mind the last couple of weeks, distraught with the certainty a nuclear war is imminent."
The mother says her son spoke of building a bunker and the CIA following him. She said she tried to get him psychiatric help but was unsuccessful.
"I plead to Shannon to turn himself in so that he can get the help he so desperately needs. Meanwhile, I thank my family and friends for their love and support and ask for our privacy as we navigate through this unthinkable tragedy," the mother said.
Shannon Gilday has an active arrest warrant for murder, burglary, criminal mischief, assault and two counts of attempted murder.
He is considered armed and dangerous. He is believed to be driving a White 2016 Toyota Corolla with minor damage to the front grill, and a license plate of 379-VMJ.
Gilday is 6 feet tall and weighs 167 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. Surveillance footage showed him wearing a camo or tactical style pants and jacket, dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, gloves and a light-colored face mask.
People are asked not to approach the vehicle or attempt to contact the driver for safety reasons. Anyone with additional information about the investigation is urged to call KSP Post 7 at 859-623-2404.
