A deranged boyfriend kidnapped his girlfriend and the best friend she brought with her to break up with him — then shot them all in a horrific murder-suicide following a police chase, according to cops.
Jedance Hale, 18, had brought along her pal Lila Asher, a 19-year-old new mom, for moral support Saturday as she planned to dump James Priddy, 21, in Kentucky, according to their families.
Hale’s sobbing mother then alerted police in a 911 call that her daughter was being held in a car, according to audio obtained by WKYT.

“She tells me that they got proof that this female has been trying to leave him all day. Trying to get her,” she said, according to the recording.
Authorities tracked down Priddy’s red Chevy Cobalt and pursued him for half an hour as he refused to pull over — before Priddy crashed into another vehicle as police tried to box him in.

When cops approached the vehicle they found all three dead inside with gunshot wounds.
“All indications are that apparently James Priddy shot and killed Hale and Asher, then killed himself,” the Laurel County Sheriff’s Office said.
Asher had recently given birth to a baby girl, according to her social media posts.
“They were two innocent girls. One was a mom to a baby girl and it’s just shocking to everybody,” Mackenize Watts, who was friends with both of the slain teenagers, told Lex 18.
A fundraiser said that the friends’ murders “has left their families and friends in shock, struggling to find the words and strength to move forward.”
“Lila and Jedance shared a deep bond, always wanting to be together, and their loved ones are determined to honor that wish by holding their funerals side by side,” said the fundraiser, which has collected more than $5,000 as of early Wednesday.
Shockingly, Priddy’s mother also launched a fundraiser for her accused killer son — calling him “a good kid” who “brought so much joy to our lives and to those around him.”
“He was the kind of person who would go out of his way to help others, and his smile could light up a room,” the fundraiser claimed. “Our family is struggling to cope with this loss, and we want to honor his memory in the best way we can.”
It sought $4,000 — but had raised just $50 from four donors as of Wednesday morning.
