On the afternoon of Thursday, May 17, 2012, 22-year-old Craig Bland Jr., a resident of Louisville, Kentucky, was shot and killed in the Parkland neighborhood near 32nd Street and West Kentucky Street. The same gunfire also killed 24-year-old Tyson Mimms and wounded two other men. While police investigated, a separate shooting occurred a few houses away after a heated exchange between two women; that incident left Makeba Lee dead and led to an arrest of Cheetara Goldsmith on a murder charge.

The killings of Bland and Mimms remained unsolved into late 2012, with no arrests announced in connection to their deaths. Bland’s family later suffered another loss when a second son was also killed by gun violence in 2015.

Does anyone have information about the May 17, 2012 shootings or remember seeing activity in the Parkland area that afternoon?
