Redaja Williams was 23 and a mother of two when she was shot and killed on the morning of August 13, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky. Known to family and friends as Juicy, she was walking her 7-year-old daughter to the school bus stop at 10th and Chestnut streets around 8 a.m. and was struck multiple times after a young man approached and opened fire. Her daughter and other children waiting for the bus were not physically harmed.

Witnesses described the suspect as a young Black male wearing a red hoodie and black sweatpants. Police initially took a 15-year-old into custody but later released him after determining he was not the shooter. This was reportedly the second shooting at that bus stop in less than a week. A memorial of balloons and a teddy bear was left at the scene as family and the community mourn.

No arrests have been announced and Louisville Metro Police continue to investigate. If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspect, please come forward.
