In the early morning hours of August 6, 2025, 25-year-old Robert Lavon Dyden Jr. was found with gunshot wounds in a home in the Buechel neighborhood of Louisville and was pronounced dead at the scene on Norbrook Drive. Police responding to a 5:45 a.m. call discovered Dyden in the bed; he had been struck by at least two bullets during the intrusion.

Hours later, 27-year-old Adrian Offutt Jr. was arrested in connection with the shooting. According to the arrest citation, Offutt, identified as the ex-boyfriend of the woman living in the residence, broke in through a window and opened fire into the bed where Dyden was sleeping.

Offutt was charged with murder, first-degree burglary, first-degree strangulation, first-degree wanton endangerment and fourth-degree assault. Dyden was remembered by family and friends as a member of St. Stephen Church. Does anyone in the Louisville area have information about Dyden, the residence on Norbrook Drive or the events that morning?
