Thomas Lee Ashley was 19 when he was fatally shot in the back on November 30, 2010, in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood. He had been home from the Camp Atterbury Job Corps for the holidays and was riding a bicycle back from a friend’s house when he was shot on Gilligan Street near 29th Street. His body was found in an alley a short distance from his father’s residence.

Friends said a companion who was with Thomas shortly before his death recalled he was on the phone and appeared to be in an argument. His mother, Nicole Lemmons, remembers him as a good person and has said she believes she knows who might be responsible, but family members say a lack of evidence stalled the investigation. The initial detective on the case was later implicated in criminal activity, a fact the family says raised concerns about how the inquiry was handled. No arrests or suspects have been officially named and the case is described as cold.

Did anyone in Portland in late November 2010 see Thomas riding his bicycle or notice anything on Gilligan Street near 29th Street that night?
