On the evening of April 30, 2025, 37-year-old Joshua Dido Mulinda was shot and killed after a dispute at Louisville Liquor Palace on Poplar Level Road in Louisville, Kentucky. Mulinda, a Black/African American man originally from Kinshasa, Congo, was a father to three children, Jaiden, Zaharrah, and Seniya, and an active member of the Evangel World Prayer Center. Family members remembered him for his warmth and generosity.

According to investigators, a verbal argument inside the store escalated into the parking lot, where 46-year-old Kapongo Job Badibanga allegedly produced a handgun and shot Mulinda four times. Emergency medical services responded but Mulinda’s wounds were fatal. Witness statements and store surveillance were used to identify a suspect.

Badibanga was arrested and charged with murder and with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. He was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections on $500,000 bond and entered a not guilty plea at arraignment. No motive has been announced; does anyone have information about the incident or the people involved?
