Laymon Lavelle Baker, 38, was shot in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville on the night of July 19, 2015. Officers found him just after 11:30 p.m. inside a location in the 2500 block of Duncan Street with a gunshot wound to his leg. He was taken to University of Louisville Hospital but died during surgery and was pronounced at 2 a.m. on July 20, 2015; the Deputy Coroner later listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death. Baker lived on the same block where the shooting happened, and family members gathered at the scene afterward.

The Louisville Metro Police Department’s homicide unit opened an investigation and said there were persons of interest they wanted to interview, but there were no arrests at the time and no suspects in custody. Detectives processed the scene and appealed to the public for tips as the case remained open. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Baker, please share what you know with investigators.
