Tyson Gibbs, 19, was found shot to death behind an apartment building in the Shawnee neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, on the evening of July 15, 2017. The Jefferson County coroner ruled the death the result of multiple gunshot wounds. Police began a homicide investigation at South 38th and Herman Streets but had not identified suspects in the immediate aftermath and asked the public for information.

A student at Waggener High School and a defensive tackle on the football team, Tyson was described by his coach Jordan Johnson as a very soft-spoken kid with a huge heart and a natural leader. The principal, Sarah Hitchings, said a plan was in place for him to return and complete the credits needed to graduate by September. His family had previously suffered gun violence: his 15-year-old sister Tysha Spearman was killed in 2013 and his father was shot and killed in 2004.

Anyone who knew Tyson or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
