Jaquay Rodgers was 19 when his body was found the morning of Friday, April 28, 2017, in an alley near 31st Street and River Park Drive in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood. He was a young Black man who had been fatally shot; the alley was reportedly a location where other homicide victims had been discovered in the past, deepening community alarm.

Louisville Metro Police detectives opened a homicide investigation and checked nearby cameras installed to deter illegal dumping in hopes of finding leads. No arrests or suspects have been identified, and the case remains one of several unsolved homicides from 2017. Jaquay’s mother, Sherisa Rodgers, continues to press for answers and justice for her son.

If anyone has information about Jaquay or that alley on April 28, 2017, please come forward to investigators.
