Cody R. Curry was 26 when he was fatally shot in Louisville, Kentucky. His obituary gives his date of death as December 1, 2018, while official records show his body was found December 4, 2018, on Dezern Avenue. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains an open, unsolved homicide.

Known to some as Tarzan for a love of nature, Cody trained as an arborist and as a private pilot. Family and friends remembered his laugh, his selfless nature, and his passion for the outdoors. Two years earlier, in August 2016, he had been arrested after firing a handgun inside a crowded pizzeria; he was charged with wanton endangerment and carrying a concealed deadly weapon, though it is not clear whether that incident is connected to his later death.

Anyone with information about Cody’s shooting on Dezern Avenue is asked to come forward.
