On the afternoon of October 25, 2014, Cory Michael Crowe, 24, was found shot in the driver’s seat of his car near South 25th Street and Standard Avenue in the Park Hill neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Officers responded after reports of gunfire at 3:41 p.m.; Crowe was pronounced dead at 4:08 p.m. Investigators reported a Black male was seen fleeing the area. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and a K-9 unit was deployed, but the investigation went cold and no arrests were announced in the years that followed.

Crowe, known to family and friends as ACE, was an ambitious and compassionate young father. His mother, Rose Smith, was critically wounded in the same incident that killed her son. In response to her loss, Smith founded The ACE Project and bought the abandoned property near the killing with plans to convert it into a community center for people affected by violence and trauma.

Does anyone in the Louisville area remember details from that day or have information that could help bring answers to the family?
