Christopher Fields was 15 when he was shot multiple times inside a home on West Kingston Avenue in Louisville’s Beechmont neighborhood on October 19, 2019. Police arrived around 1:45 p.m. and found him gravely wounded; he was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital where he died of his injuries.

Christopher, a Black male, was remembered by his youth football coach as a dedicated team player. His death was the fourth fatal shooting of a player from that football program in four years, and it devastated his family and the local community. The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a homicide investigation but in the immediate aftermath had not identified suspects or a motive, and no arrests had been announced as of late 2019.

If anyone in Beechmont or the West Kingston Avenue area that afternoon has information that could help the investigation, please come forward to assist authorities.
