PADUCAH, Ky. (WJPF) – A Williamson County woman now faces murder charges in connection to the death of her boyfriend last year in Paducah.

Aaryan Kelley

Paducah Police say 22-year-old Aaryan Kelley has been a suspect in the death of Jarvis Plato since March 14, 2022 when the 28-year-old was found dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs. Kelley told police her boyfriend had fallen, but investigators noticed Plato had injuries to his face not consistent with a fall and also found evidence of a fight inside the couple’s home.

Furthering police suspicion, Kelley changed her account of what had happened multiple times.

After results of an autopsy determined that Jarvis Plato did not die from a fall, police issued a warrant for Aaryan Kelley’s arrest. She was taken into custody Wednesday in Carterville and taken to the Williamson County Jail. She’ll be extradited to Kentucky to face charges or murder and domestic violence.
