Kentrell Morris, a 27-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Louisville, Kentucky, after celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends at Cole’s Place nightclub. The shooting happened on January 1, 2019, and Morris was found in an alley near the club with multiple gunshot wounds.

His mother, Patricia Morris-Shelby, has spoken publicly about her grief and the last text she received from him — love always, your son Kentrell. She believes he was intentionally targeted and says the number of times he was shot was excessive. A cross placed near the scene by family and a cared-for headstone reflect ongoing remembrance.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. Anyone who was with Kentrell that night or who has information is asked to come forward and help his family find answers?
