On the evening of Wednesday, January 20, 2016, 24-year-old Montez Small was found dead inside his apartment on West Kentucky Street in the Chickasaw neighborhood of Louisville. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office determined he died of multiple stab wounds. His death was one of three homicides in the city that night.

Known to family as Monnie, Small was a father of two who enjoyed cooking and hoped to attend culinary school. His family called him kindhearted and said he would not hurt anyone; they last spoke with him on January 18, two days before his body was discovered. The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a homicide investigation and the case was listed among the city’s open homicides for 2016.

Does anyone who knew Montez, his routines, or who was in the Chickasaw area that week have information that could help the investigation?
