Bryan Lewis was 21 when he was shot to death inside his mother’s Louisville home on October 20, 2012. He was staying at the residence near Taylor Boulevard and Bicknell Avenue when an unknown person or persons forced entry and fired multiple shots. His mother, asleep in another room, was awakened by Bryan’s cry of no immediately before the fatal gunfire. A family dog, Champ, was also killed during the intrusion.

Investigators have said Bryan may not have been the intended target; he had a clean record and family members insist he was not involved in activities that would make him a target. No arrests have been announced and the case is now handled by the Louisville Metro Police Department cold case unit. Bryan left behind an infant son and daughter; his family has organized memorials, circulated flyers and offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

Anyone who knew Bryan or has information about that night is urged to come forward.
