Christopher Colbert was 33 when he was killed while walking home near 18th and Oak streets in Louisville on the night of July 29, 2013. He had been returning from his job at WW Cousins, where he had worked for 15 years, and had taken the bus because he could not afford insurance on his car. Colbert, described as a devoted father with a warm personality and no criminal history, was struck by a single gunshot around midnight.

Louisville Metro Police had no viable leads after the shooting and described the victim as the cleanest murder victim they had seen in a long time, highlighting how random the attack appeared. No suspects were identified and no arrests were made; the case remains an open homicide. Colbert’s teenage daughter and his family were left without answers after a senseless loss.

If anyone knew Christopher, saw activity near 18th and Oak that night, or has information about this case, please come forward to the Louisville Metro Police.
