Christopher Hinkle, 16, was shot in Louisville, Kentucky, in the summer of 2019 and died two days later at University Hospital. He was found inside a vehicle late on a Sunday night at the intersection of Preston Highway and Loretta Street with a gunshot wound to the head. Police say the shooting likely occurred a short distance away at an apartment complex on Kendrick Court. He had recently become a father to a son.

Louisville Metro Police had not identified suspects or made arrests in the immediate aftermath and asked the public for tips through their anonymous line. Motive and the full circumstances remained unclear as investigators sought information. If anyone knew Christopher, was at or near Kendrick Court or Preston Highway and Loretta Street that night, please share what you know with investigators.
