Ronald R. Reed was 33 when he was murdered on October 16, 2007, at 956 South Hancock Street in Louisville’s Smoketown/Jackson area. Official entries list his name, age, the word homicide and that address; police later included his photograph in the Louisville Metro Police Department’s 2007 Open Homicides gallery. The house where the killing occurred was a relatively new single-family home on a block of narrow streets and close-set houses that had been undergoing slow rebuilding.

The case remains recorded as an unsolved homicide on the department’s list, kept open and public in hopes of prompting information that could explain what happened. If anyone knew Ronald, saw activity around 956 South Hancock on October 16, 2007, or has information that could help solve this case, please come forward.
