Mychael Tavon Crumes was 16 and a sophomore at Valley High School when he was shot and killed in Louisville on April 21, 2009. The fatal single gunshot occurred in the busy courtyard of the Rangeland Manor Apartment Complex in broad daylight, a scene that witnesses described as chaotic as residents reacted.

Louisville Metro Police homicide detectives canvassed the area and interviewed witnesses. One person reported hearing a voice just before the shot saying words that suggested the shooting might have been accidental: I told you not to play like that! Quit playing! Despite that lead and the public setting, the investigation did not produce arrests or publicly identified suspects.

The case remains an open, unsolved homicide. If anyone knew Myke, was in the Rangeland Manor courtyard that afternoon, or has information about what happened, please come forward.
