On the night of August 9, 2013, 29-year-old Damon Talbert was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a Pontiac at the intersection of 22nd Street and Burwell Avenue in west Louisville. Police arrived just before midnight and opened a homicide investigation. Damon, a Black man who worked at Christ the King Child Care Center, was buried the week after his death.

The family had already suffered a similar loss: Damon’s older brother Lashawn Talbert, known as Sugar Shizz, was killed by gunfire in August 2010; an arrest was made in that case. As of the most recent listing, Damon’s killing remains an open homicide with no arrests announced and no publicly identified suspects. His mother, Vickie Talbert, has described the devastation of losing two sons to gun violence.

Key aspects of the shooting remain unclear. If anyone knew Damon, saw him that night, or has information that could help solve this case, please come forward.
