Prosecutors charged Christopher Manuel, a 39-year-old man from Republic, with the 2017 death of Bill Dauzat.
KY3 News reports Dauzet was found at the intersection of Main Avenue and Brooks Street in Republic. Investigators determined he died of multiple stab wounds.
Manuel was known to law enforcement at this time due to several threats he had made prior to the Dauzet’s death. His previous threats were in relation to numerous unrelated persons.

Manuel was convicted of murder in November of 2021.
