Martez Rayshawn McAtee, 28, was shot and killed on May 3, 2025, during a large gathering in the Kroger parking lot at Broadway and 28th Streets in Louisville. The attack, which took place in the early morning hours of Derby Day, also killed 21-year-old Autumn Seelye and wounded a third person. Hundreds of people were reported to be at the scene when the gunfire began.

McAtee was a father of three and trained in culinary work; family members described him as kind-hearted and passionate about cooking. The family held a vigil at the shooting site and have publicly pleaded for information. The loss reopened old wounds for the McAtee family: Martez’s father, Marvin McAtee, was killed in an earlier unsolved shooting, and his great-uncle David McAtee was fatally shot in 2020.

The Louisville Metro Police Department has not announced any arrests or identified suspects and says the investigation is ongoing. Did anyone who was at the Kroger parking lot that night see something that could help investigators?
