On the morning of New Year’s Eve 2024, 29-year-old Quante Burris was found with gunshot wounds at the Parkway Place Apartments in the 1600 block of South 13th Street in the Algonquin neighborhood of Louisville. Metro Police discovered Burris around 4:15 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the shooting grew out of a verbal and physical altercation between Burris and his girlfriend. After that dispute, the girlfriend contacted several people, including 33-year-old Robert Handley, to remove Burris from the residence. Investigators report a confrontation between Handley and Burris escalated into a physical fight and that Handley then allegedly drew a handgun and shot Burris in the chest.

Robert Handley was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a handgun by a prohibited person and is being held at Louisville Metro Corrections. Does anyone have information about the events at Parkway Place Apartments that morning or witnessed the confrontation?
