Clifford Wright, 62, was found fatally shot multiple times in an empty lot at the corner of 28th and Dixdale Avenue in the Algonquin neighborhood of Louisville. He was discovered with gunshot wounds to his torso and pronounced dead at the scene at 8:43 p.m. on February 5, 2016. Neighbors reported hearing about five shots that night.

The vacant lot where Wright was killed was described as a common shortcut for people walking to nearby stores. While it is believed he was returning from a store and may have been robbed before the shooting, why he was in that particular area at that time has not been established. The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a homicide investigation, and no arrests have been announced; family and friends held a vigil seeking answers.

Anyone with information about this killing is asked to contact investigators.
