Latasha Tasha White, 49, was reported missing from Louisville after being last seen April 27 in the Park Hill neighborhood; family noticed the home security cameras had been turned off and her keys were missing while her car, wallet, ID and cell phone remained at home. A missing persons report was filed May 1. A body later identified as White was found on Newport Road in the Buechel neighborhood with a fatal gunshot wound.

Investigators developed a suspect with a close connection to White. In July, U.S. Marshals arrested Jamie Shelby in Jeffersonville, Indiana; police said Shelby and White had been in a romantic relationship. Shelby was charged with murder-domestic violence, robbery and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and was held on $1 million bond.

LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey initially made remarks that family and community members called victim-blaming, then apologized for a lack of sensitivity. The chief said evidence allegedly showed White and Shelby were en route to commit another murder together when White was killed with her own gun, and that the last footage of her alive showed her taking down surveillance cameras in the early morning hours of April 29. Authorities said White had purchased and was wearing dark clothing when found; the investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone has information about White, her movements in late April, or relevant surveillance from Park Hill or Newport Road, please share what is known.
