Zemenfes Tekle, 33, was killed by a stray bullet while he slept in his Cecil Avenue home in Louisville on April 12, 2016. Police responded about 3 a.m. to the 1000 block of Cecil Avenue near Greenwood Avenue and found Tekle deceased; the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office determined he died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Investigators say several shots were fired that night and that Tekle was likely not the intended target — his roommate, who was on the front porch at the time, is believed to have been the actual target.

Tekle had moved from Ethiopia to Louisville in 2014 and had lived in the city about a year and a half; no local family was nearby. The Louisville Metro Police Department homicide unit is handling the investigation and no arrests have been announced. If anyone has information that could help solve this shooting, please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department.
