The cops are probably looking at the 2017 case for a motive.

Reminds me of some dialogue from the film No Country for Old Men:

Sheriff Ed Tom: It sounded like these old boys died of natural causes.
Deputy Wendell: How's that, Sheriff?
Sheriff Ed Tom: Natural to the line of work they was in.
Deputy Wendell: Yes sir.

EH's father was had a dealership license pulled at one time, years ago. Someone at the dealership was moving stuff that was not legal, inside the door panels of used vehicles. EH would have been a child at that time, or possible it was before he was born.

EH's home, below, was in his father's LLC. It was in one of the nicest gated communities in Lexington, so, someone buzzed the killer in (unless it was a murder-suicide attempt). The girl's injuries seemed serious, but not life-threatening. Maybe she can shed some light, or maybe not.

Was there video at the gate? I’m sure there’s cameras in the neighborhood with that much wealth.

I'm not sure but I'd not doubt that there are cameras all over. I was wondering if it was possible the assailant rode in with EH, and the female who survived. I've heard murder/suicide tossed around quite a bit but not from LE, then again, maybe I've missed an update. It could very well be a possibility.

The house is the same house where the drug mule was beaten down, by EH, his frat brother, and another man. I'm pretty sure, speculation only, that his father kept the home in an LLC, but it was considered EH's home. Side note: EH's Mother is deceased and his father now lives out of state.

Ive heard the murder/suicide angle mentioned too but without knowing her injuries it’s an open topic I guess. It does seem like somebody closer in, or there with the victims as you say, would be more accurate. Revenge can’t be counted out even as it’s been several years since that incident but worth noting how those guys got very little punishment for that.
