Joseph Ervin Bradford III, 32, was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in an alley near 17th Street and Broadway in Louisville on Thursday, February 2, 2017. The body was discovered about 2:30 p.m. outside a car wash in the city’s California neighborhood, in the 1100 block of Salem Alley; the shooting was recorded as the city’s seventh homicide of the year.

Authorities believe an altercation in the 1100 block of Salem Alley led to the fatal shooting. A separate violent incident that same day—another man found shot and stabbed nearby—prompted investigators to consider a possible connection between the two scenes. SWAT and other officers later executed a search warrant on a residence in the 1100 block of Dixie Highway, but that search produced no significant findings and no arrests were reported.

Bradford was a U.S. Army veteran who worked in construction, born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, raised in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and a father of five. The case remains unsolved; does anyone with information about Bradford, the 1100 block of Salem Alley, or that afternoon in February 2017 have details to share?
