Seventeen-year-old Martez Wade was shot multiple times just after 10:30 p.m. on September 5, 2018, at the Overlook Terraces apartment complex in the 8000 block of Glimmer Way in south Louisville. The Breckinridge High School junior was struck near his home and died in his mother’s arms; residents reported hearing the shots that night.

Family described Martez as a loving, caring teen who was starting to turn his life around and doing well in school; his manager at a local Rally’s restaurant also remembered him as bright. Police told the public they had no suspects and few leads, and an uncle said a social media dispute may have escalated into the deadly violence. Family and friends held a vigil, and his mother publicly urged whoever was responsible to come forward.

No arrests or named suspects have been announced. If anyone knew Martez, saw activity near the 8000 block of Glimmer Way on the night of September 5, 2018, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
