Isaiah C. White, 44, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday, May 4, 2025, in Louisville’s Algonquin neighborhood. Police were called just before 3 a.m. to Dixie Highway near West Hill Street and found White inside his vehicle with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. After being shot, his vehicle collided with a medical office in the 1600 block of Dixie Highway.

Investigators say surveillance video showed another vehicle following White into a parking lot. Detectives recovered four spent shell casings there, and a recorded statement from a suspect placing himself at the scene led to an arrest the next day. Louisville Metro Police charged 48-year-old Jack Elliott with White’s murder; a judge set bond at $500,000, calling Elliott a danger to the community. Motive remains unclear.

Family and friends remembered Isaiah, also known as Courtney, as someone who liked to joke and wasn’t a bother to anyone. A memorial grew at the crash site; he is survived by his mother, sister, a lifelong companion, and a son. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
