CHEYENNE — After two months of investigation, the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office has yet to make an arrest in the shooting that killed Pine Bluffs pilot and crop duster Kevin Hefley.
Airtime Aerial’s 52-year-old owner was killed on June 24 in the 1200 block of County Road 157. The details surrounding his death have yet to be revealed to the public.
In their first update on the case since June, LCSO staff thanked the public for their patience on Friday while reporting no new developments.
“Our detectives are actively working on this complex case,” the LCSO announced on Facebook. “We appreciate your patience and understanding as the investigation continues.”
The post promised an update once the case had been forwarded to the Laramie County District Attorney’s Office.
“Forwarding the case to the District Attorney’s Office is a standard procedure to review the investigation and determine if any further legal action is necessary,” according to the message.
At 4:22 p.m. on the same day, deputies responded to reports of a fatal shooting. They eventually declared Hefley dead at the scene. The LCSO’s initial posts about the incident assured the public that the suspect in the shooting had been apprehended and was no longer a threat, but did not reveal whether anyone involved had been arrested.
Hefley was a local businessman and crop duster pilot. According to his Instagram account, his company, Airtime Aerial, is based in Wyoming and serves seven states. It was registered in Pine Bluffs in 2016.
