Seventeen-year-old Devin Sesay was shot and killed on the night of June 13, 2019, in the Smoketown neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. He had been walking home after playing basketball and was struck by gunfire from a passing car just a few feet from his front door on Roselane Street near Clay Street. He was found on the pavement and did not survive.

Devin’s family, who had emigrated to the United States seeking safety, described him as a beloved son and brother who was not involved in gangs or illicit activity. A makeshift memorial was placed near the scene. Ten days later, another drive-by shooting at nearly the same location killed 20-year-old Tyrese Garvin, underscoring the neighborhood’s surge of violence. The Louisville Metro Police Department reported no new leads or suspects immediately after Devin’s death.

If anyone saw the June 13 night shooting or has information about the vehicle or people involved, please come forward to help bring answers to Devin’s family.
