On the evening of Thursday, January 20, 2005, 34-year-old Ike Chivers was walking in an alley in the Shawnee neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, not far from where he was staying with his girlfriend, when he was fatally shot. The killing was sudden and violent; no arrests have been made and no suspects are publicly named.

Chivers’ sister, Juanita Green, remembers him as her best friend and says the family has been haunted by his unsolved murder. A rumor that a possible suspect had been arrested on unrelated charges surfaced at one point, but it was never confirmed and produced no known break in the case. The investigation remains open and the family continues to seek answers.

If anyone has information about Ike Chivers or that night in the Shawnee neighborhood, please come forward with what you know.
